THE BEST ROASTED CHICKEN
This is the best chicken I have ever made. My husband liked this so much that, because I had leftover potatoes, gravy, and cornbread stuffing, I had to make another chicken.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Remove the chicken giblets. Rinse the chicken inside and out. Remove any excess fat and leftover pin feathers and pat the outside dry. Liberally salt and pepper the inside of the chicken. Stuff the cavity with the bunch of thyme, both halves of lemon, and all the garlic. Brush the outside of the chicken with the butter and sprinkle again with salt and pepper. Tie the legs together with kitchen string and tuck the wing tips under the body of the chicken. Place the onions, carrots, and fennel in a roasting pan. Toss with salt, pepper, 20 sprigs of thyme, and olive oil. Spread around the bottom of the roasting pan and place the chicken on top.
- Roast the chicken for 1 1/2 hours, or until the juices run clear when you cut between a leg and thigh. Remove the chicken and vegetables to a platter and cover with aluminum foil for about 20 minutes. Slice the chicken onto a platter and serve it with the vegetables.

BEST ROASTED CHICKEN YOU'LL EVER HAVE!!
This chicken has the crispiest skin, the most wonderful aroma, and the juciest meat. And, I love the simplicity of it. My friend from Lafayette, LA heard a chef talk on the radio about how to prepare his favorite roasted chicken and she called me with the directions. We don't know the name of the chef, sorry. But whoever he is, this really is fantastic!

Steps:
- Combine all seasoning ingredients into a paste or zap together in a little blender.
- Wash chicken and pat dry.
- Rub inside and out with this paste and put in a ziploc bag to marinate overnight (mine marinated a total of about 15 hours).
- Preheat oven to 125 Centrigrade (250 fahrenheit).
- Place chicken in pan, breast side down and roast (not exactly the word!) for 5 hours.
- If you like, turn breast side up to crisp skin for last 45 minutes.
- I didn't baste this at all as I was away from home all the time it was cooking.
- It was juicy and tender!
Tips:
- Use a whole chicken: A whole chicken is more flavorful than just the breasts or thighs. It also gives you more options for cooking, such as roasting, baking, or grilling.
- Season the chicken generously: Don't be afraid to use a lot of salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic, onion, paprika, or thyme.
- Roast the chicken at a high temperature: This will help the skin get crispy and the meat stay juicy.
- Let the chicken rest before carving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Conclusion:
Roast chicken is a classic dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make a delicious roast chicken at home. So next time you're looking for a hearty and flavorful meal, give roast chicken a try!
