Cooking Tips

• If you prefer a stronger rosemary flavor, you can add more fresh rosemary to the chicken.
• For a healthier option, you can use skinless chicken breasts or thighs instead of a whole chicken.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the chicken in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.
• Serve the chicken with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a side salad for a complete meal.
