Default Herbs for baked chicken

Tarragon is the herb traditionally used with chicken. I tried fresh
thyme and garlic, but no one seemed to like it. So I went back to
tarragon. I grow this herb along with lemon grass and other herbs.
Lemon grass crushed is very good with the tarragon.

I guess it's all a matter of taste as the actress said to the bishop,
but I personally feel that the more delicate flavour of parsley and
tarragon is better with chicken than a strong herb like thyme which is
wonderful in casseroles and stews.

Don't use rosemary will you? It's absolutely awful with chicken but
fabulous with lamb.
