This roasted chicken is a simple recipe for a Sunday dinner or for whenever you want elegance without all the fuss. When making this recipe, be sure that the oven is at the correct temperature before you put the bird in. It is important to let the bird alone while it is cooking.
I make this chicken and use the leftover chicken for chicken salad. Don’t throw the carcass out, use it for making stock or soup. I either freeze the carcass for later or make chicken stock or my kid’s favorite soup. Zachary gets really excited when he knows I am making any kind of soup. I am teaching the kids how to cook, and honestly, soup is one of the easiest things for them to learn to make.
To complete your dinner, boil up some baby red potatoes and finish them with butter or butter substitute, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle some dried parsley on the chicken and potatoes for a splash of color right before serving.
