Ingredients:
- 1 whole chicken (about 5 pounds)
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 5 sprigs fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 12 baby potatoes
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Rosemary Mixture:
- Begin by placing the chopped rosemary in a large baking dish.
-
Combine Flavors:
- Pour in the olive oil, followed by the minced garlic and lemon juice. Stir the mixture thoroughly to combine all the ingredients.
-
Marinate the Chicken:
- Gently place the whole chicken, skin side down, into the rosemary mixture. Turn the chicken to ensure it is well-coated with the flavorful mixture.
-
Chill and Marinate:
- Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This allows the chicken to marinate and absorb all the delightful flavors.
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). This high temperature will help to initially sear the chicken, giving it a delicious crispy skin.
-
Bake the Chicken:
- Uncover the baking dish and place it in the preheated oven. Bake the chicken uncovered for 15 minutes.
-
Add Baby Potatoes:
- After 15 minutes, carefully turn the chicken pieces over. Add the baby potatoes to the baking dish, making sure to turn them so they are coated with the juices and rosemary mixture.
-
Reduce Heat and Continue Baking:
- Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C). Continue baking for an additional 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the baby potatoes are tender.
-
Broil for Crispiness:
- Remove the baking dish from the oven and take out the baby potatoes, keeping them warm. Place the chicken under the broiler for a few minutes, watching carefully, until the skin becomes crispy and golden brown.
-
Serve:
- Spoon the pan juices over the chicken pieces and baby potatoes. Serve hot and enjoy the delicious blend of flavors!
