Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Place the poultry in a large resealable bag or a dish; pour the marinade over it. Ensure the poultry is evenly coated.
Marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
Transfer the marinated poultry to a roasting pan, skin-side up, and pour any remaining marinade over the top.

Storage and Reheating Tips

If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, store them properly to maintain flavor and safety.

Allow the poultry to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container.
Keep it refrigerated for up to 3 days.
For longer storage, you can freeze it for up to 3 months. Just make sure to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil.
To reheat, use the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through, ensuring food safety.

Helpful Cooking Tips

Consider using a meat thermometer for the most precise cooking. It takes the guesswork out and ensures perfectly cooked poultry every time.
If you prefer a crispy skin, broil the poultry for an additional 3-5 minutes at the end of roasting.
If you have time, marinating overnight deeply infuses the flavors.

Looking to mix things up? Here are some variations you can try:

Incorporate different herbs such as sage, dill, or basil for distinct flavors.
Add a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the marinade for a tangy kick.
Substitute apple cider vinegar for the lemon juice for a sweeter note.
