Herb Roasted Chicken Ingredients
– Whole chicken: Purchase a whole chicken if you plan on roasting a larger chicken.
– Butter: It gives the chicken a more full robust flavor. I like to use salted butter, but feel free to use unsalted.
– Thyme: Fresh thyme is best. The dried version doesn’t pack as much flavor, but it still works in a pinch!
– Oregano: Dry oregano works perfectly in this recipe.
– Onion powder: Onion powder is basically dehydrated onion flakes. It’s a great way to add extra flavor without having to chop up an onion!
– Garlic powder: Again, garlic powder is dehydrated garlic flakes. It’s a great way to add flavor without having to chop up any garlic cloves.
– Paprika: I use either sweet or hot, with the difference only being how mild or how spicy the paprika is.
– Lemon: Fresh lemon cut into wedges is best.
– Sant and pepper: Freshly ground salt and pepper.
This roasted chicken recipe never fails me. The herbs give it a delicious flavor, and the chicken always comes out moist and tender.
The results are the same every time, with the herbs having permeated throughout the meat and infusing it with flavor.
I like to make a big batch of roasted vegetables to go with it, and then I have a delicious and healthy meal that’s perfect for any night of the week.
If you’re looking for a delicious and easy roasted chicken recipe, this one is for you.
Enjoy!
