Easy Baked Lemon Rosemary Chicken (Juicy Oven Recipe + Tips)
Rosemary lemon chicken recipe so simple to make and delicious! I live in the USA and we have almost in every store available already baked rosemary lemon chicken. However, homemade roasted chicken is much better. I like this combination of spices for chicken and decided to add it to my website recipes. If you would like to make it taste even better, add melted butter to the oil. Not healthier for some people, but much better taste!
*A well-known fact, whole chicken baked on the bone, has better flavor than smaller boneless pieces.

Preheat oven to 350Fº or 180Cº
1. Wash and dry chicken well with pepper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
2. To press garlic for the marinade I use cheesecloth. What I have left from pressing garlic, I use to flavor inside the chicken. The reason is garlic burns so fast, so best is just garlic juice for outside chicken.
3. Making marinade. Add to oil chopped rosemary, lemon juice from 1/2 lemon, and garlic juice from 4 cloves.
4. Rubbing outside and inside chicken with the marinade. Place in refrigerator for 1 hour.
5. Cut into segments and place lemon and onion inside the chicken for flavoring. Tie chicken legs with foil or rope. You can skip this step, it is only for chicken appearance.
*Don’t use foil to cook in, if food includes acid! I use foil instead rope, but where I use foil it not edible anyway.
6. Bake 20 minutes for every pound (350ºF). Chicken is done when juices run clear. For juices, check the inner thigh area. Let the chicken rest for 20 minutes before serving.
* Insert meat thermometer in the inner thigh; the temperature must be at least 165ºF

Haven’t made this in what seems like forever!
I usually make – 2 same amount of energy
The left overs (if there are any)
Can be turned into a million different ways
Dori, so great idea to bake 2 chickens at the same time. I agree, chicken leftovers we always can use different ways. We just need to remember 2 chickens takes more time to cook. Thank you for visiting my website!
I love roasted chicken and this looks scrumptious!
Thank you, Lisa!
