Herbs grow easily and abundantly under Sicily’s hot sun and home cooks often dry their own and make blends that can be used all year long. For this roast chicken, a combination of dried rosemary, sage, bay leaf, mint, geranium, chilli, and orange peel works beautifully against the acidity of the wine and citrus.
