Instructions
| 1. | Begin by thoroughly cleaning and drying the whole chicken. |

| 2. | Gently loosen the skin starting from the neck cavity, working your way towards the breast using your fingers. |
| 3. | Carefully tuck 2-3 pieces of garlic and 2 sprigs of rosemary under the skin of the breast near the wings. |
| 4. | Continue by sliding 2 rosemary sprigs and 2 garlic pieces beneath the skin of each drumstick. |
| 5. | Create small slits in the skin of each wing and insert a piece of garlic and a sprig of rosemary into each incision. |
