ROASTED CHICKEN WITH ROOT VEGETABLES
I always wanted to learn to make an excellent roasted chicken at home. I tried to find a recipe that is quick and easy, but in the process, I didn't lose the flavors of the chicken. I could not see any that had a few steps or ingredients. This is a recipe I came up with after trying many different methods. I used to buy a lot of rotisserie chicken, but after I learned this easy chicken dish, I don't think I will ever go back. The chicken turns out to be flavorful and juicy. It can be served with the vegetables as a main dish or use it in other recipes that have chicken in them.

Steps:
- Wash the chicken and pat dry. Poke it with a toothpick all over about 40 times. Season with salt and put in the refrigerator to chill for 8 hours.

- Combine melted butter and saffron in a small bowl. Pour over chicken to cover, and season with salt and pepper. Stuff chicken with lemon slices garlic. Tie the chicken legs with kitchen string and tuck legs underneath.

- Roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Spoon the juices from the chicken over the vegetables. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Continue to roast until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Remove from the oven and cover with aluminum foil; let sit for 15 to 30 minutes before serving to allow the chicken to absorb all the juices.
