I have a beautiful rosemary plant and I thought of preparing roasted rosemary chicken for dinner today. I always love the fragrance that rosemary adds to food especially chicken. Making this rosemary chicken recipe reminds me of visiting my grandmother in the country side while living on the Caribbean islands. It brings back warm memories of my grandmother cooking outside. Hmm I can smell the chicken cooking with all the wonderful herbs like rosemary that she would use. Good times!
This recipe is definitely another one of my favorites. The chicken was so crispy and delicious I wanted to go back for more. When I bit into it, it was crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside just the way I like roasted chicken. The flavor of the rosemary was well balanced by adding a hint of garlic, black pepper and olive oil. I can’t say it enough. It was oh so good.
