Roasted chicken is one of those dishes that just warms the soul, you know? The smell of the tender, juicy chicken roasting in the oven brings back memories of mom's kitchen and family dinners together. Roasted chicken is a home-cooked meal everyone loves to eat. Joe's Roasted Garlic Chicken recipe is the perfect dish to serve at family gatherings, or around the holidays. But you need to prepare your taste buds for some seriously garlic-y flavor. We'll warn you, there's a lot of garlic in this recipe. But don't let the abundance of garlic keep you from trying this chicken dish. Once the chicken is done roasting, we highly recommend you use what's left of the delicious herb mixture for a side dish. Use the leftover olive oil and garlic sauce to spread on buttery, crispy bread, or mix in with rice or potatoes. Either option will compliment the chicken nicely.
