How to Make Roast Chicken With Rosemary Garlic Paste

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Make the rosemary garlic paste: Combine 4 cloves garlic (minced), 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary (chopped), 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small bowl.
  3. Butterfly the chicken: Cut along both sides of the backbone with kitchen shears, then flatten the chicken.
  4. Prepare the chicken: Place the chicken in a roasting pan. Spread the rosemary garlic paste evenly over the chicken. Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon over the chicken and arrange lemon slices around it. If using, add 1 teaspoon juniper berries or 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce.
  5. Roast: Roast for 70-90 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Check after 70 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on your oven and chicken size.
  6. Rest: Remove from oven and let rest for 10-15 minutes before carving and serving.
