In this post I’ll be sharing a Bag Roasted Chicken Recipe.
Delicious juicy Roasted Chicken! A favorite meal and so easy to make. I love bag roasted chicken because there’s less mess and easy clean up. Winner winner, chicken dinner!
You’ve got minimal effort, minimal ingredients and end up with a beautiful bird every time.
Who doesn’t enjoy a roasted chicken dinner? Am I right?!? It is a great option for family meals served along with your favorite side dishes like mashed potatoes, green beans and macaroni & cheese.
Ingredients
- 1/2 Stick Butter, softened
- 1 tsp Fresh Rosemary, minced
- Sprigs of Rosemary
- 1 tsp Thyme, minced
- Sprigs of Thyme
- 1/4 tsp Paprika, plus more to sprinkle on top of chicken
- 1 3-4 lb Whole Chicken
- Salt and Cracked Black Pepper, to taste
- 1 Oven Ready Roasting Bag
Easy Roasted Chicken
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.Add the diced rosemary and thyme to the softened butter, along with 1/4 tsp of paprika, mix to combine. Make sure your butter is good and soft. It’s going to make rubbing it on the chicken a lot easier.
Be sure to remove any of the giblets inside the chicken if there are any (liver, gizzard, etc). Spread the herb butter all over the whole chicken.
