Lemon, Rosemary, & Thyme Roasted Chicken I Made It

Lemon, Rosemary, & Thyme Roasted Chicken

There are some recipes that drive me crazy when they don't have the amounts of each item listed, but with this recipe it didn't bother me one bit. I just added what looked good for my size chicken (3.2 lbs). I used fresh rosemary and parsley but dried thyme. Used chili powder in place of the red pepper flakes. Ghee is Paleo friendly so I used just a small amount to get the bird basted once about 20 mins. before it was done. The skin was perfectly crispy! Oh I also did the oil rub under the skin as well as on top. This was delicious!

Wow, that looks so good. I haven't made a whole roasted chicken in ages. I like the idea of the chili pepper. I'm loving chipotle chili powder. I like the 350F temp. Less fat splatter in the oven. I may try this when the weather gets cooler. Beautiful picture!

Your chicken is gorgeous Michelle! Nice job! Love the sound of that recipe. It's quite similar to a "Chalet Style" one that I make. The Ghee would work perfectly for basting the bird.
You have a rotisserie too if I remember correctly Frankieanne so this would work perfectly on that I bet. I like cooking up a whole chicken and even if we don't eat it all the chicken meat freezes so nicely for future dinners (enchiladas, hot chicken,etc.) plus then I can make stock out of the bones.

Thank you! I just finally bought some chipotle chili powder finally, Frankie! I used it in some chili tonight and it was delicious :) So jealous of that rotisserie!

Oh yeah! My rotisserie! Great idea, Janet! :-)
I'm hooked on that chipotle powder. Keni would be proud. I think. Maybe. Its still probably not hot enough for her. :-)

Have you tried making your own chipotle powder? Chipotle is dried roasted (or not) jalapenos. You can make it loosely by using my recipe Ancho Chile Powder

Sorry, pso, but I figure by the time I buy all the ingredients and take the time to mix them all together, it seems it is cheaper (for me) to buy the pre-made. I work and I figure my time is money. No offense meant to anyone. That is just what works best for me. Plus, I don't like working with chilis of any kind. They scare me. :)

I visualize a skinny spice cabinet in your house. Mine has gobs of herbs and spices, so all I had to buy is the dried peppers.
Made me go look. I have five shelves 2ft long each, bottle touching bottle all the way through.

Thank you Marie and Bakerme! Oh gosh, if my husband didn't like chicken, he's just have to be making his own dinner then lol!

My first husband did not like chicken. I don't think that is why he isn't my husband anymore. We got divorced wayyy back in ol' 1983 so I can't remember. I doubt it. :-P

I have a few chicken recipes I make that he likes and even asks for, but it wouldn't hurt his feelings if we didn't have them very often. I love chicken!
