A delightful roasted chicken recipe infused with citrus and herb flavors, perfect for a family dinner.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Rinse the chicken under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
Drying the chicken helps achieve a crispy skin.
Rub the chicken with butter and olive oil, ensuring it's evenly coated.
This step locks in moisture and adds flavor.
Season the chicken inside and out with salt, pepper, and rosemary.
Seasoning inside the cavity enhances the overall flavor.
Place the garlic cloves and orange slices inside the chicken cavity.
This infuses the chicken with aromatic flavors during roasting.
Place the chicken in a roasting pan and roast uncovered for 1.5 to 2 hours.
Baste the chicken every 30 minutes to keep it moist.
Mix the orange marmalade and rosemary in a bowl to create the glaze.
Warming the marmalade slightly makes it easier to mix.
Brush the glaze over the chicken and return it to the oven for an additional 10 minutes.
This step caramelizes the glaze for a glossy finish.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the meat juicier.
Serve the chicken with your favorite sides and enjoy!
Garnish with fresh herbs for an elegant presentation.
