This is my take on a recipe from the New York Times Cookbook, 1990 edition. This idea has fascinated me for ages, and I finally decided to take the plunge and try it. This chicken was amazing! My new go to recipe for roast chicken!

How To Make brown paper bag roasted chicken

Step 1

Combine the olive oil and seasoning, except for the rosemary, and set aside for at least 30 minutes to mingle flavors.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 325 degrees
Step 3

Rinse chicken and remove any extra fat deposits; dry well.
Step 4

Rub chicken with olive oil mixture; put cut up vegetables and the rosemary into the chicken cavity; Put chicken, breast side down, in heavy brown paper bag; close the bag and put it into a roasting pan. (you can use a metal binder, or an oven proof plastic bag tie, or just very tightly twist the ends of the bag, and fold under the chicken.
Step 5

Bake for 2-1/2 to 3-1/2 hours. (My 6# chicken should take the whole 3-1/2 hours)
