JUICY ROASTED CHICKEN
My grandmother's recipe for roasted chicken. We are German and she used to do it this way all the time. I never have had a chicken this juicy before; this little trick works and makes the people eating it go silent. It's funny. We nibble on the celery after.

CORNISH HEN - GERMAN STYLE

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Look for a whole chicken that is plump and has a moist appearance. Avoid chickens that are excessively thin or have dry, cracked skin.
- Brine the chicken: Brining the chicken helps to keep it moist and flavorful. Combine water, salt, sugar, and herbs in a large container and submerge the chicken for at least 2 hours.
- Season the chicken generously: Before roasting, season the chicken inside and out with a mixture of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
- Roast the chicken at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy skin and juicy meat. Roast the chicken at 425°F for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Let the chicken rest before carving: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in more tender meat. Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
