I love this recipe so much.
I actually made this in the oven recently, I browned it all first then placed in a baking dish and baked it for about 30 minutes at 350 and the comments are fixed on that post.
Can you bake this lemon rosemary recipe instead? if so at what temp and for how long? and how much more liquid needs to be added? Also, I tried to leave a comment for the Spice and Spirit giveaway, but the leave a reply box did not appear at all.
My family has always roasted chicken this way..love it. A favorite in the winter.
This is one of my favorite chicken recipes. We usually roast it whole and stuff the lemon slices, rosemary and garlic in the cavity and under the skin. So good!
this is my favorite flavor mix. i use it to bake potatoes as well
This recipes sounds so delicious and cozy! Perfect for a cool Friday night dinner.
I make a version of this dish frequently. Love lemon-rosemary combo so much that I planted rosemary in my garden. Good dish with a savory kugel. YUM
I love the combination of lemon and rosemary..it is a classic with chicken. Will have to make sometime!
