Roasted Herbed Chicken

Tonight's dinner was roasted, herbed-chicken.

This is a simple, no-measure recipe, but oh so good.

First, take your favorite "poultry" herbs and seasonings. You want about 2 - 3 tablespoons all together (just eye-ball it.) I have here, dry lemon zest, thyme, rosemary, pepper, and mint. Add in a couple tablespoons of olive oil (or vegetable oil) and mix it together.



Then I take my hand and slide it under the skin over the chicken breast, creating a space. Take some of the herb mixture, and spread it over the meat inside. Then rub the rest of the mixture all over the chicken.

After that, I put some additional dry herb mixture, some bay leaves, and crushed garlic cloves, and put them inside the cavity of the chicken.



Bake this at 325 degrees, for 1 1/2 - 2 hours, or until tested done with a meat thermometer.

How good does this look?


Enjoy!
