Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary

This recipe is a keeper! The chicken was so moist and flavorful. I loved the crispy skin and the gremolata sauce was the perfect finishing touch.

The chicken was a little dry, but the gremolata sauce was delicious. I would make this again, but I would cook the chicken for a shorter amount of time.
