What’s more comforting than a good, slow-roasted chicken? Well, probably a lot of things. A nice warm bath. A snuggle pile of fuzzy puppies. But there’s something nice about just slathering a chicken in all your favorite seasonings and sticking it in the oven for a few hours while you go about your day. It’s not quite the fanfare or fuss of a Thanksgiving turkey, but offers some of that same homeyness. This recipe is quick, flavorful, and features three of my favorite flavors: garlic, rosemary, and lemon. Yum!
