Crispy Roast Chicken With Lemon, Garlic And Rosemary
Crisp, golden brown, roasted chicken always reminds me of family Sunday dinners. This recipe is really quite easy, and yet tastes delicious flavored with the lemons, garlic and rosemary. I often cook baby red potatoes in their skins along with the chicken, but you can omit them if you choose. I’d serve the chicken with a side of sauteed greens as well as the potatoes.
- Poultry, both white and dark meat, is a great source of low fat protein.
