Roasted Rosemary-Garlic Chicken

I picked up a Weber roaster for my grill the other day. I was excited about getting to use it. I've done beer can chickens before and they've come out good, but the can was a little bit of trouble. This roaster is heavy and stable. It has a place inside for liquid, and a cap that prevents moisture from escaping from the top of the chicken.


This recipe came from the booklet that came with the roaster. The original recipe used white wine, but I used chicken broth instead.


The chicken came out fantastic. It was very, very tender and moist. We used some to make chicken salad sandwiches, which had a great flavor. I can't wait to use my new roaster again!
