I am allll about simplicity and this recipe doesn't get much simpler....and it turned out yummy too! This chick just needed olive oil, lemon, pepper, and rosemary (which I clipped fresh off the plant outside our window!). I was worried about putting the chicken in the oven without anything else in the pan (because the temp is set to 450*), and Kevin was afraid the chicken would stick to the pan. But, I said, "Mark didn't say to put anything else, so I'm not." In my head I was thinking, "Please God, let Mark be right!!"
When I came back to oven when the timer clicked, I saw black on top of the chicken. It's a good thing Mark couldn't hear the thoughts I had in my head at that moment, because I just knew it had screwed up...even though I followed the recipe to a tee. I opened the oven, only to have smoke billow out. I pulled out the bird and realize I was still in the right...the only thing black and smokin' was the fresh rosemary (which i guess was to be expected when being cooked at 450*...). The chicken cooked perfectly, was juicy and done, and not burned one bit. Thank you, Mark! Thank you, thank you!! ;) Anyway, I paired this with mashed potatoes, gravy, and mac and cheese...and we called it our Boston Market night. Shoot...i should have made some corn bread!!!
