  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage leaves or
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried sage leaves, crumbled

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Fold wings of chicken across back with tips touching. Tie or skewer drumsticks to tail. Place chicken, breast side up, on rack in shallow roasting pan. Insert meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of inside thigh muscle and does not touch bone.

Notes

Expert Tips

Always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is gluten free. Products and ingredient sources can change.

Have some extra garlic butter on hand? Skip the finely chopped garlic and use 1/4 cup garlic butter instead of the 1/4 cup butter.

Forget about chopping garlic if you're not in the mood. You can use 1 tablespoon of minced garlic from a jar instead.
