Roasted Chicken

Preheat oven to 350.
You will need:
A whole chicken
2 cloves of garlic (optional)
one large branch of fresh rosemary that you can cut into several smaller pieces

Use a whole chicken. Wash the inside and outside to remove stray bone chips and the gizzards and neck (which I toss. All the toxins in the animal end up in the neck and organs.).

Remove the tail and any large chunks of fat.

Separate the skin from the breast of the chicken with your hand, not as difficult as it sounds.

Between the skin and the breast meat insert little chunks of butter, slices of whole garlic, and sprigs of rosemary.

Stuff the rest of the rosemary inside the chicken.

Bake at 350 for about an hour. Use an instant thermometer to ensure that the breast meat is at least 170 degrees. The skin should be crispy.

Remove from the oven and let the chicken set for about five minutes. Slice or carve and serve.

Enjoy!
