Roast Chicken with Rosemary
This rosemary roasted chicken is inspired by my time in Italy. When I was in Vicenza at a downtown open-air market, I smelled scrumptious roast chicken from a stand. So, I bought one and saw what they stuffed in the cavity to make it taste so good. I prepare turkey this way, too.
