Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt
2 cloves minced garlic
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary

This is the best roasted chicken recipe I've ever tried. The chicken was so moist and flavorful, and the sauce was incredible. I will definitely be making this again and again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chicken was dry and overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.

Not bad! The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was good. I think I'll try it again and cook the chicken for a shorter amount of time.

This recipe is a winner! The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the garlic, rosemary, and lemon butter sauce was divine. I served it with roasted potatoes and green beans, and it was a hit with my family.
