Ingredients
Instructions
-
Chop the rosemary.
-
In a small saucepan bring water and rosemary to a boil. Remove from heat, cover, and allow to steep for 5 minutes
-
Transfer water and rosemary to a blender. Add the oil, garlic, and sea salt. Puree until smooth and then allow to cool.
-
Combine the chicken and rosemary liquid in a shallow dish and coat chicken well. Cover and allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature or overnight in the fridge.
-
Heat the grill to medium. Remove chicken from the marinade, place on the grill; discard the marinade. Cook and baste frequently with the lemon juice, turning as needed - about 20 -30 minutes. Grill times
may vary. The chicken is fully cooked when the chicken breasts reach 165F at their thickest part, and the legs/thighs reach 170F. -
On the stovetop/oven: Preheat oven to 375F. Heat oil in a large oven-safe pan over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place chicken in the pan skin side down,and cook until browned and crisp, about 20-30 minutes. Turn over, transfer pan to hot oven, and roast until cooked through, 40-60 minutes.
-
Check the internal temperature of the chicken with a meat thermometer, looking for a minimum reading of 165F. Test the poultry at the thickest part, making sure not to touch the thermometer to a bone. Continue cooking the chicken until it reaches the minimum temperature before removing from the pan.
-
Remove chicken from oven and transfer to a large plate to serve.
