I made this for Please Review and was not dissapointed! Everyone loved it, although my BBQ was a bit too spicy for the kids. The chicken was close to done at 1 1/2 hours, so I basted it for about 15 minutes and had a lot of sauce left over. Used dried rosemary. I haven't made whole chicken in awhile and I cooked it upside down! :oops:

Wow! Excellent flavor!!! I used cornish game hens! I did not have fresh rosemary but dried. I did not have fresh garlic cloves so used 1/2 tsp fresh minced garlic in a jar for each hen.I served the drippings over my party stripe potatoes. I baked for 1 hour. Easy delicious, moist ans so flavorable. Thanks for posting.

This was very simple and very good. Since my lemons were quite large, I only zested one lemon which I think was plenty. This chicken smelled great while it was cooking, and came out of the oven very moist, tender, and lemony. Thanks 2Bleu for a nice chicken dish. Made for Photo Tag.
