Steps:
- Remove the giblets from the chicken cavity. Pat the chicken dry all over with paper towels, including the cavity.
- Generously season the entire chicken with salt and pepper. With the tip of a toothpick, poke the skin of the chicken all over, creating at least 20 tiny holes.
- Transfer the chicken to a rimmed baking dish and let sit in the refrigerator, uncovered, for 8-12 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 450˚F (230˚C).
- Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and let it warm to room temperature for 1 hour.
- Truss the chicken legs. Using butcher's twine, tie the legs together, then slip the twine under each leg, pull up to the top of the chicken, and flip the bird over. Pull the twine under the wings, loop around the neck, and then tie to secure and cut off any excess twine. Flip the bird over again and tuck the wings under the breasts.
- Set the chicken, breast-side up, on a roasting rack set over a roasting pan.
- Roast for 1 hour, or until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165˚F (75˚C).
- Let the chicken rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
- To carve, remove the twine. Using a sharp knife, cut between the leg and the breast. When you reach the joint, bend it back and cut right through. Twist off the wings. To remove the breasts, cut straight down along the keel bone. Then, angling your knife outward, remove the breast. Break the legs down into thighs and drumsticks, if desired. Pull off the oysters from the underside of the chicken.
- If you'd like, make chicken stock from the carcass. Add the carcass to a large pot with onions, celery, carrots, garlic, and other aromatics of your choice. Cover with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 8 hours, skimming off the fat as needed. Store in the fridge for a few days or freeze for a few months.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large, ovenproof skillet or frying pan, mix together the carrots, squash, and broccoli, and coat with the oil. Spread the veggies into 1 even layer.
- Place the chicken on top of the veggies.
- Season the bird on all sides and in the cavity with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme leaves. While seasoning the bird, make sure that enough seasoning has fallen onto the veggies below to give them good flavor.
- To truss the chicken, fold the wingtips underneath the breasts so that they fit snugly. Using a piece of butcher's twine, tie the legs together so the bird holds a nice shape.
- Bake for 1 hour, or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast reads 160°F (70°C).
- NOTE: Once resting out of the oven, the temperature will continue to rise to a safe 165°F (75°C).
- Let the chicken rest for at least 15 minutes once out of the oven, so that all of the juices in the meat can settle and the internal temperature has time to finish rising.
- Carve the bird as desired.
- Serve on a plate with the veggies, and fresh thyme sprigs for garnish.
- Enjoy!

JUICY ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

- Bake uncovered 1 hour and 15 minutes in the preheated oven, to a minimum internal temperature of 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Remove from heat, and baste with melted margarine and drippings. Cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest about 30 minutes before serving.

Tips:
- Choose a whole chicken that is between 3 and 4 pounds. A larger chicken will take longer to cook and may not cook evenly.
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels before seasoning it. This will help the seasonings adhere to the chicken and give it a crispy skin.
- Use a flavorful combination of seasonings. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. You can also add fresh herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, or sage.
- Don't overcrowd the chicken in the roasting pan. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
- Roast the chicken at a high temperature for a short period of time. This will help to create a crispy skin and juicy meat.
- Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving it. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken.
Conclusion:
Roast chicken is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a healthy and affordable option for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily roast a delicious chicken that your family and friends will love.
