Roasting a whole chicken


Last week I decided to attempt being a grown up and roast a whole chicken. This was a big deal for me as I'm pretty scared of raw chicken. I purchased my free range chicken from Homestead Harvest Farm at the North Raleigh Farmer's Market. After perusing several recipes, I settled on one that called for lots of garlic and rosemary from Dean and Deluca- can't go wrong there!

As you can see in the photo my ratio of vegetables to bird was a little off, but the veggies were super tasty. I found that my 3.25 roast cooked considerably faster than the recipe said, but all in all it was a pretty tasty first attempt. Not sure it will be a regular at our house, but its a nice (and pretty) option.
