Everybody thinks French cooking is so fancy and difficult. I won't tell them how really easy it is if you don't! This is simply baked chicken made 'French gourmet" by way of the tarragon, parsley, and garlic. It couldn't be easier

What You'll Need

  • 1 (3 to 4-pound) chicken
  • 1 garlic clove, peeled and halved
  • Fresh ground pepper to taste
  • 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) butter
  • 1 tablespoon dried tarragon
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

What to Do

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

  2. Trim excess skin and fat from chicken. Rub chicken all over with garlic; lightly sprinkle with pepper.

  3. Place chicken, breast-side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.

  4. In a small saucepan, melt butter; stir in tarragon and parsley.

  5. Bake chicken for 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 hours or until done and golden brown, basting with herb mixture every 15 minutes. Juices should run clear when chicken is pricked with a fork.
