Baked Rosemary Chicken

By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
• 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 (5-to 6-pound) chicken
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In medium-sized bowl, combine parsley, rosemary, sage, salt, and pepper. Using your hand, gently separate skin from chicken and rub seasoning mixture under skin, inside cavity and on outside.

Place chicken in ungreased roasting pan and rub with vegetable oil, then sprinkle with paprika. Cover with aluminum foil and bake 2 hours.

Remove aluminum foil and bake an additional 25 to 30 minutes, or until no pink remains and juices run clear.

Notes:

For crispier chicken, bake it on roasting rack in roasting pan.

Can substitute tarragon or thyme instead of rosemary.
