The Best Sunday Rosemary Lemon Roasted Chicken Recipe


The Best Sunday Rosemary Lemon Roasted Chicken Recipe
EASY AND GREAT. I made this for years, using my own seasoning. Then I happened on this recipe from Emeril Lagasse, and he uses Creole seasoning. It is my old stand-by recipe, tied and true, but with Creole seasoning. Thanks, Emeril!

So what is in the *Creole* seasoning? We wouldn't have that here... I'd have to make it myself :p Thanks!


Creole Seasoning can be very personal, and there are many ways to make it. Also good ones can be purchased. Thanks Nemo, for your comment. I decided to post Emeril's Creole Seasoning here.


This looks awesome.


I'll give this recipe to my daughter. She's just learning to cook and this looks like something she can impress her boyfriend with.


This looks really tasty, we love chicken!
