Rosemary Garlic Roast Chicken Recipe
ROSEMARY GARLIC PASTE INGREDIENTS:
- 1 large bulb of garlic, peeled
- 2 tsp. of extra virgin olive oil
- 1 Tbsp. of balsamic vinegar
- 2 tsp. of fresh lemon juice
- 2 tsp. of chopped fresh rosemary
- Salt and pepper
CHICKEN INGREDIENTS:
- 3 lbs. of split broiler chicken
- 1 tsp. of extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup of chicken broth
- Salt and pepper

DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Combine garlic, olive oil, vinegar, and lemon juice in a food processor, and pulse until smooth. Transfer into a bowl, and add rosemary, salt, and pepper.
- Loosen the skin on the chicken, creating space between the skin and meat. Spread two-thirds of the paste under the skin.
- Turn the halves over, and season the undersides generously with salt and pepper, and the remaining paste.
- Place chicken, skin side down, on a rack in a roasting pan. Cook for 30 minutes.
- Turn and brush on 1 tsp. of olive oil. Cook for another 40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clean.
- Remove the rack from the pan, and add the chicken broth to the drippings. Transfer to a measuring cup.
- Cook cauliflower rice according to packaged instructions (usually 2 minutes in the microwave).
- Remove the skin from the chicken, cut into bite size pieces, place over cauliflower rice, and pour pan juices over the chicken.
