Ingredients

  • ¼ cup rosemary dried or fresh
  • 2 tablespoons oregano dried
  • 1 tablespoon sage dried

  • Rub will keep several months.
  • Brush the meat with olive oil and crushed garlic, then sprinkle with rub, patting rub into meat with your fingertips.
  • Let rub rest on chicken for 45 minutes to 1 hour to allow flavors to permeate the chicken
  • Preheat the oven to a temperature of 450ºF (230ºC) for the first 10-15 minutes of cooking. Roasting the chicken at this high temperature of heat will result in a crispy golden- brown skin and deliciously succulent meat.
  • Reset the cooking temperature to 375ºF (190ºC) for the remainder of cooking time of 45 - 50 minutes
  • As a general rule calculate a cooking time of 20 minutes per pound of meat plus an additional 10 - 20 minutes at a temperature of 375ºF (190ºC).
