Whole Roasted Chicken

This is a staple in our house! Roasting a whole chicken can seem intimidating, but it’s super simple and so handy to know because it can feel your multiple meals and the bones become fantastic stock. Here is the most simple, fool proof method:

1 Whole Chicken, (4-5 Pounds)

Salt and pepper

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees

Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper

Put chicken breast side up on a roasting pan and place in the oven.

Roast at 425 degrees for 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, lower temperature to 375 degrees and roast for another 40 minutes or until the juices run clear and the internal temperature reads 165 degrees on a thermometer.

Let the roasted chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving.
