Notes
- Marinate your chicken with rosemary for at least 30 minutes for maximum flavour.
- If you want to add a little extra kick of flavour when serving it up, then add a sprinkle of red chilli flakes.
- You can cook this in the slow cooker instead. Brown the chicken first and then put everything in the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours.
- You can keep the leftover chicken in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- For a little extra flavour, add a squeeze of honey to the lemon and rosemary mixture. The sweetness is really nice.
- Want some richness to this baked rosemary chicken? Add a little bit of melted butter. SO good.
- Why not make this a complete meal by roasting potatoes and vegetables in the dish all at the same time. Make sure that everything has enough room in the baking dish.
- Cherry tomatoes and olives are a good addition to the baking tray. Roasting them really brings out the flavour.
