Rosemary-Orange Roasted Chicken

It is so nice to come home from a long day at work to a roasted chicken ready in the oven.  Just whip together some mashed potatoes, gravy and veggies and you have a yummy meal ready to go! 

1 whole chicken, defrosted and rinsed
1/4 c. butter
1/2 T. rosemary
grated peel from one orange
salt and pepper
1 bay leaf
1 c. orange juice
1c. white wine OR chicken stock
Mix butter, rosemary, and orange peel.  Pull up the chicken skin and spread butter mixture between skin and the chicken.  Place in a roasting pan.  Put wine or broth in pan with bay leaf.  Pour orange juice over
the top of the chicken into the pan.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Put roasting pan, covered into the oven at 250 for 6-8 hours.  Chicken will be done and moist and tender when you get home!
