Roasted Chicken
It is the perfect recipe for anyone looking for a tasty dish that will satisfy their taste buds without making them feel guilty about eating it. Roasting is all about the slow cooking process that lets the juices and flavor of the meat mingle with the vegetables until you get a deliciously juicy dish.
Rosemary
Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) is a perennial herb native to the Mediterranean region and has been used for centuries in cooking. It has a lovely, earthy flavor and a very light green colour. Rosemary is believed to have beneficial effects on the heart and digestive system. It also has a calming effect and is said to promote restful sleep. To take advantage of all these benefits, you must harvest fresh leaves, not dried ones.
Rosemary whole Chicken
Whole foods are all-natural. They contain no ingredients other than those found in nature. Whole foods include fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, fish, meat, and eggs. For a whole chicken, the goal should be to buy one raised without antibiotics or growth hormones. The goal for an entire fish should be to eat wild-caught and avoid farm-raised. Whole foods are higher in antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fiber, and protein, all essential nutrients.

Conclusion
The chicken’s key was roasting it low and slow, giving the bird crisp skin and a slice of tender meat. A combination of rosemary, salt, pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice served as a flavorful marinade. The chicken came out perfectly, but you could also do it with pasta or other side dishes.
