Oven-Roasted Chicken

I used to buy roasted chicken at Costco or Sam’s Club and sometimes even at the local grocery stores.  One day I stopped by the Whole Foods Store that opened nearby to check out the organic/healthy foods that they have to offer.  I couldn’t resist the smell of the roasted chicken – Rosemary & Garlic.  I bought the tiny bird (half the size of the Costco’s!) for dinner.  I couldn’t believe how flavorful it was!  Unfortunately it was $10 for that little bird.  So I decided to make my own oven-roasted chicken with the Le Creuset dutch oven!  Typically I would rub salt, pepper, minced garlic and rosemary with some canola oil (or olive oil) all over the bird and bake.  I ran out of real garlic this time and had to substitute it with garlic power.  I also sprinkled cayenne peppers over the chicken.  Covered it up and placed it in the oven at 375 degrees for 1 1/2 hours.










We made chicken sandwiches with this and topped it off with fresh guacamole, served with chips & salsa.  This was Friday's "random" dinner.
