Preparation

Step 1

Note: You can double the first 6 ingredients so 1/2 goes on the chicken, and the other 1/2 goes on the vegetables.

In a small sauce pan, melt butter. Add rosemary, parsley, garlic, salt and pepper. Place chicken in a roasting pan; tie drumsticks together. Spoon 1/2 of the butter mixture over chicken. Place the vegetables around chicken. Drizzle remaining butter mixture over vegetables.

Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours, basting every 30 minutes. Uncover; bake 1 hour longer or until juices run clear, basting occasionally.

This recipe yields 6 servings.
