Resting Time 15 minutes
Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup Butter melted
- 4 tbsp Minced fresh Rosemary Or 2 tbsp dried Rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Melt the butter; stir in the seasonings and garlic. Place chicken breast side up on a rack in a shallow roasting pan; tie drumsticks together with kitchen string. Spoon half of the butter mixture over chicken. Place the potatoes and carrots around chicken. Drizzle remaining butter mixture over vegetables.

Bake at 350° for 1-1/2 hours. Baste with cooking juices; bake 30-60 minutes longer, basting occasionally, until a thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh reads 170°-175°. (Cover loosely with foil if chicken browns too quickly.)
