This just may be the time of the year when looking for recipe that results in “comfort food” is the thing to do. And I seriously consider roast chicken to be one of them – especially with a bit of garlic….. Try it today and enjoy!

Easy Garlic Roast Chicken:

2 chickens – about 2-1/2 lbs. each

10-12 cloves of garlic

2 onions – quartered

6 springs of fresh rosemary

2 tablespoons of olive oil

salt and pepper

• Pat chickens dry and remove any excess fat from cavities.
• Remove giblets if neccessary and reserve for another use (such as making stock)
• Peel garlic, cut each clove leghtwise into thin slices.
• Slide your fingers carefully under the skin on the breast os each each chicken to separate the skin from the flesh. Arrange slices of garlic evenly between breast nad skin.
• Place one onion and 3 springs of rosemary in cavity of each chicken.
• Rub chickens all over with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Place chickens on rack in roasting pan. Roast at 400F for about 1 hours or until meat thermometer registers 185F and juices run clear when chickens are picked with a skewer.
• Transfer chickens to serving platter and let stand, coered, for about 15 minutes.
