It's very good, but many people will wish they'd had more seasonings. I personally added garlic & savory to mine, and it was very tasty. It's worth noting that, as written, this chicken will not produce a golden crisped skin--you must apply olive oil, butter, or cooking spray to the skin to brown & crisp it. My picture (when I submit it) will reflect a chicken with herbs & cooking spray applied.

Very yummy. I took the advice of others and stuffed it with garlic cloves, celery, lemon, onion, kosher salt. I rubbed the outside with salt, pepper, garlic, rosemary and olive oil. Placed carrots and quartered red potatoes in the bottoom with a can of chicken stock. Highly recommended.

My family of 4 ate every bite of the chicken no leftovers. I sprinkled salt and added a washed and pierced lemon with the onion in the cavity before cooking so juicy and flavorful, wish I would have made 2 chickens not just one.

I also rubbed the inside and out and seasoned with garlic pepper and seasoning salt. I added an old apple to help keep it moist.

Delicious! I used some rosemary from my little herb garden and with the edits AbeLincoln offered, the chicken came out ready to fall off the bone! I will make again!

Delicious! I had no sprigs of rosemary, so I stuffed the chicken with 1/2 of a large red onion (cut in wedges) and 3 pressed cloves of garlic. I did not want to get my roasting pan out of storage, so I roasted the chicken on top of a bed of red potatoes in stoneware 9x12 pan. THe chicken covered the potatoes and the results but great! But next time I will salt and pepper the potatoes before roasting. I set this up in less than 20 minutes, popped it in the oven, went to soccer practice, and came home to a wonderful aroma and a succulent main course. My chicken weighed about 5.3 pounds.

Adding a quartered lemon to the cavity definitely adds to the flavor and prevents drying. Also, roast breast side DOWN for the first 1 1/2 hours then turn, so as to avoid overcooking the white meet.

I also followed many of the recommendations by stuffing the bird with rosemary, onions, lemon and 4 garlic cloves. I rubbed the outside with olive oil and fresh lemon juice and seasoned with salt and pepper and fresh chopped rosemary. It turned out very juicy and had tons of flavor.

I stuffed the bird with half of a lemon, onion and rosemary. Rubbed the outside it with Olive Oil and seasoned it inside and out with salt, white pepper, garlic, and rubbed skin with the fresh chopped Rosemary. I cooked it as directed and it came out beautifully. The whole house smelled wonderful. The chicken was juicy and flavorful. I will make this again and again.

We also stuffed this with lemon wedges, onion wedges, garlic cloves, and rosemary, and slathered it with olive oil, crushed garlic, and rosemary, put chunks of potato, parsnip, and carrots beneath it, and poured chicken stock over it, baking it for 1 and 1/2 hours. The skin was crisp and flavorful, the chicken was moist and delicious, and the potatoes, etc, were done perfectly. An amazing meal!

I have to give this five stars because it provided the inspiration for one of the best meals I have ever made. I washed the chicken and dried it well(a necessity to get that wonderful crispy skin), salted and peppered the cavity and the chicken very liberally, stuffed the cavity with a lemon cut in half and a generous amount of garlic in addition to the onion and rosemary. I mixed some minced rosemary and garlic with softened butter and rubbed it underneath the chicken skin. I tossed some cut up red skin potatoes, baby carrots and quartered onions with olive oil, garlic and minced rosemary and put it all around the chicken. I cooked it at 400 for about an hour and 45 minutes(5 lb chicken) and it was sooooo delicious. Everyone in my family loved it and they are all begging me to make it again soon. The chicken was flavorful, juicy and delicious and the veggies were perfectly cooked and incredibly yummy as well. This is the perfect meal for a fall evening; I'll be making it often!

Very good as written. Second time I made it, I stuffed cavity with several springs of rosemary (much easier than chopping) and put a couple of tablespoons of butter under chicken skin on breast and spritzed skin with olive oil. Came out moist with crispy skin. (I used a 4 pound chicken and cooked for about 2 1/2 hours.

Outstanding Recipe! I've beening cooking chicken for years and this is the best recipe that I have come across. I also, brushed the skin with olive oil and covered the outside with sea salt & fresh ground black pepper. The Rosemary & roast chicken smell filled the house, my wife & daughter loved it!

This one baffles me as to why people liked it, as the recipe merely calls for putting seasonings into the chicken cavity and then doing nothing more with it. So little of what you put in the cavity of the chicken seeps into the chicken meat itself during roasting that the it's largely wasted. You might as well just salt and pepper the chicken and stick it in the oven - all you would lose is a nice smell while it cooks, but the affect on the meat would be unnoticeable. Now if you're going to use the droppings to make a gravy or stuffing, then the seasoning suddenly is leveraged and adds to the dish and this might be good - I made a gravy of it and it was perfectly tasty, albeit nothing unforgettable. As the directions stand now, however, all this is is a recipe for generic roast chicken that will smell nicely of rosemary and onions while cooking.
