1/2 cup white wine

Freshly ground black pepper
Bouquet garni of rosemary, oregano, thyme and 2 bay leaves
2 whole cloves garlic

Here is how you make Mediterranean Roasted Chicken:

Preheat the oven to 350.Rinse and dry the chicken, removing the neck and any organs from the cavity. Place it in a roasting pan, breast side up. You will want to use a somewhat deep roaster that you can cover.In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the juice from the lemon, white wine, olive oil, pressed/minced garlic, pinch of sea salt, and dash of fresh ground black pepper. (SAVE THE LEMON HALVES ONCE YOU'VE JUICED THEM, YOU'LL NEED THEM IN THE NEXT STEP.)Prepare your bouquet garni by putting together a "bouquet" of 4 sprigs fresh rosemary, 8 sprigs fresh thyme, 3 sprigs, fresh rosemary, and 2 bay leaves - tied together at the stems with kitchen twine. Into the cavity of the chicken, stuff the two lemon halves and 2 whole cloves of garlic. Put your bouquet garni into the cavity stem end first, so that the bouquet is sticking out.All your vegetables should be coarsely chopped into good size chunks. Put them in a mixing bowl and toss them with 1/2 of the marinade. Place the vegetables in the roasting pan around the chicken.Slowly pour the remaining marinade over the chicken, making sure it is thoroughly basted. Cover the pan and bake for 2 hours, basting the chicken and vegetables with the juices from the bottom of the pan every 30 minutes. Remove the cover, baste, and cook for another 30 minutes until the chicken is nicely browned and cooked through.Let cool for about 10 minutes before removing the bird from the pan to a platter. Use a slotted spoon to remove the vegetables and arrange them around the chicken.Serves about 6 people.Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user COPPERHEAD71.
