A delightful roasted chicken recipe infused with the flavors of fresh herbs and zesty lemon, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy skin.
Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice over the chicken.
Squeezing the lemon directly over the chicken enhances the flavor.
Place the lemon halves inside the cavity of the chicken.
This infuses the chicken with a subtle lemon aroma.
Brush the chicken with olive oil and sprinkle with Creole seasoning and fresh rosemary.
Ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Place the chicken in a roasting pan and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, basting occasionally with the pan drippings.
Basting keeps the chicken moist and enhances its flavor.
Check if the chicken is done by ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Using a meat thermometer ensures the chicken is cooked safely.
Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the chicken juicier.
