The combination of unique ingredients make this chicken dish delicious. It roasts beautifully and is surprisingly fast once it's in the oven. I serve this with the Chimichurri Sauce I found on Allrecipes, and I can't get enough! Plus the leftovers are fantastic for sandwiches, salads, and Mexican dishes.

EASY ROASTED CHICKEN



Easy Roasted Chicken image

Use this recipe to prep enough chicken to use it in wraps and salads all week; you can even cook two at once. To make Asian-Style Chicken Wraps, leave the chicken whole; if a recipe calls for shredded chicken, shred before storing.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 whole chicken (about 3 1/2 pounds), rinsed and patted dry
2 tablespoons butter, room temperature
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Tie chicken legs together with kitchen twine (tuck wings under chicken, if desired, for a neater presentation). Place chicken on a rack set in a roasting pan (or on a rimmed baking sheet).
  • Rub chicken all over with butter; season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Roast until an instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees when inserted in the thickest part of a thigh (avoiding bone), 45 to 50 minutes. Serve, or let cool before refrigerating, up to 3 days, covered.

MOIST ROASTED WHOLE CHICKEN



Moist Roasted Whole Chicken image

I found a version of this recipe online somewhere and used it to take a roasted chicken to church for a special sampling of foods you can get from ordering foods from Angel Food Ministries. (http://www.angelfoodministries.com/) Everyone raved about it and since I am going to roast one for home today I decided to add the recipe here too. This is a well seasoned bird which is cooked with high heat for the first 20 minutes then cooked the remaining 40-50 minutes at a lower temperature. This makes the chicken nice and moist and very flavorful. It's easy and quick to prepare as well.

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 whole chicken, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 -3 lb roasting chicken
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 450 degrees before starting to prepare the chicken.
  • Place the whole chicken into a medium sized baking pan.
  • Rub the entire bird with the olive oil.
  • In a small bowl combine the salt, pepper, oregano, basil, and paprika, then sprinkle evenly over chicken.
  • In the preheated oven bake the chicken for 20 minutes.
  • Lower the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Continue baking for 40-50 minutes, or until golden brown and juices run clear.
  • If your chicken looks like it is browning too quickly, Lay a sheet of tin foil over the top loosely and it will slow down the browning for you.
  • Let the chicken rest in it's juices for at least 10 minutes before carving and serving. (This let's the bird reabsorb some of the juices and helps to make it even more moist.).

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Opt for a whole chicken that is between 3 and 4 pounds, as it will cook more evenly and yield more tender meat.
  • Prep the chicken properly: Rinse the chicken inside and out, and pat it dry with paper towels. This will help the seasonings adhere to the chicken and prevent the skin from becoming soggy.
  • Generously season the chicken: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to season the chicken inside and out. This will enhance the flavor of the chicken and make it more flavorful.
  • Roast the chicken in a preheated oven: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit before roasting the chicken. This will help the chicken cook evenly and prevent it from drying out.
  • Roast the chicken uncovered: Roasting the chicken uncovered will allow the skin to become crispy and golden brown. If you cover the chicken, the skin will be more likely to become soft and soggy.
  • Baste the chicken occasionally: Basting the chicken with its own juices or a mixture of melted butter and olive oil will help keep the chicken moist and prevent it from drying out.
  • Roast the chicken until done: The chicken is done roasting when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the temperature using a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh.

Conclusion:

Roasting a whole chicken is a simple and delicious way to prepare a classic meal. By following these tips, you can ensure that your roasted chicken is perfectly cooked and flavorful. Serve the roasted chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or stuffing, and enjoy a satisfying and comforting meal.
