Roasted Chicken With Herbes De Provence - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 roasting chicken
1 teaspoon herbes de provence
1 garlic clove
1 tablespoon sherry wine, divided

Preparation

Wash and prep chicken. Place in roaster.
Peel the garlic clove by whacking it with the flat of a knife (yes, you could just take the peel off, but the smashing/bruising releases the flavor as well as removing the peel).
Put the garlic into the chicken's cavity.
Put 1/2 the sherry into the cavity and sprinkle half over the chicken's breast.
Sprinkle the Herbs de Provence over the chicken.
Roast, covered, at 350F for 60-90 minutes depending on the size of the chicken then remove the lid and roast uncovered another 15-30 minutes until the skin is crisp and the chicken is fully cooked.
If you want a sauce either use the pan juices to make gravy or deglaze the pan with a little white wine. Either would be delicious.
