Orange Rosemary Roasted Chicken
My friend, Mary, and I were discussing the fact that the economical way to buy chicken is whole. There are many good recipes for roasting a whole chicken, but this one caught my eye because it not only sounds delicious, it has the word "Rosemary" in the title and Mary's nickname is "Nosemary". LOL
