One of the best things about having your own garden is that you have fresh herbs right at your fingertips! Having access to fresh organic rosemary just calls for a great Rosemary Chicken.
I wanted to use a flour breading on this recipe that would make an amazing crispy chicken. I combined flour with fresh rosemary and sage from my garden. Then I added brown sugar to add a bit of a sweet taste to it.
Combine everything in a large plastic bag and mix well with your chicken, then transfer everything to a large bowl. Season some more with Vegeta seasoning and paprika.
A cast iron skillet does an awesome job in making your chicken crispy on the outside. This is always a great thing to do just before you bake it 🙂
When you are done with the skillet and the chicken has this perfect golden brown look, transfer it into a large baking dish and bake at 425 degrees F for about 45 minutes.
I always love some vegetables on the side with my chicken and mashed potatoes. This time around, I went for some amazingly delicious sweet sauteed carrots, and they sure complete the meal.
