How to Make an Easy Roasted Chicken
How to Make an Easy Roasted Chicken
- 3 Carrots, medium
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 White or yellow onion
- 1 Salt and pepper, Freshly ground
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 (3-4 pound) young chicken without giblets, preferably organic
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Remove chicken from packaging and discard giblets if there are any. Place chicken in a roasting pan or skillet. Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel.
- Add melted butter and minced garlic to a small bowl; add fresh herbs to the butter if you are using. Brush all over the chicken skin and underneath. Season generously with freshly ground salt and pepper. Bake in the oven for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, basting the chicken with pan juices halfway in between. Chicken is done when a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees F when inserted into the thickest part of the chicken breast.
- Allow chicken to rest for 15-30 minutes before cutting into. If you are shredding chicken or using for later, I suggest waiting an hour, or until the chicken is completely cool. Serves 4-6 and will make about 5 cups shredded chicken, maybe more!
