This is the roast chicken recipe that I have been looking for. I have tried this recipe twice, both with small chickens. I used an vertical chicken rack in both cases. The vertical chicken rake is a simply device used to make "beer can chicken." YOu can get an inexpensive vertical rack at nearly any kitchen supply store. I think the vertical cooking helped keep the chicken juicy because chicken self-basted.

I was very happy that the chicken came out juicy but cooked all the way through. On the second try, I increased the initial heat from 450 to 475 for fifteen minutes and I continued baking for a full 60 minutes after that. It took a full 1 hour and 15 minutes in the oven to finish roasting.

I used much more of the flavoring rub of sea salt, rosemary and lemon zest, 5 tablespoons of each. The meat picked up a very nice lemon flavor, strong enough to be noticed but not enough to overwhelm the chicken flavor.

I will use this recipe again. Only drawback, it does heat up the kitchen in the summer time, as a result of 1 hour and 15 minutes of roasting.

Elegant, simple, and awesome. This is the best roast chicken recipe ever! I gave it to a friend, and her husband doesn't like "roast chicken" but he loved it and leftovers were scarce! The skin is crispy and tasty!

The chicken was very favorful and moist. I added some chopped garlic to the rosemary and salt seasoning. I also sliced up an onion and put the chicken on top of the sliced onion to roast. The juices marinated the onions and it really was delicious.

I used chicken thighs as an easier variation for a more formal gathering. It worked excellently with happiness all around the table. Use more sparingly as the high salt content can show itself more readily when using thighs.

I must have mad this chicken 10 times since I got this recipe. Make sure you use alot of FRESH rosemary and sea salt. It is very flavorful and makes a great chicken saled if it does not all get eaten.
