BASIC ROASTED CHICKEN
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Sprinkle the inside of the chickens liberally with salt and pepper. Stuff each bird with 3 sprigs thyme, 2 cloves garlic, the bay leaf, onion and lemon. As the chickens cook, this will help keep them moist and also flavor the bird from the inside.
- Using kitchen twine, tie the legs together of each bird, and then tuck the wing tips underneath each body so it cooks evenly. Place the birds on a roasting rack over a roasting tray then sprinkle them with salt and pepper.
- Place in the oven and roast for 15 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 375 degrees F and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the joint between the leg and thigh registers 165 degrees F, approximately 1 hour more. When the chicken is done, the skin will be crispy and golden and the juices of the chicken will run clear. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 15 minutes before serving.

Tips:
- Use a cast iron skillet. This will help you achieve a crispy, golden-brown crust on your chicken.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you do, the chicken will steam instead of fry and won't get as crispy.
- Cook the chicken over medium-high heat. This will help you get a crispy crust without overcooking the chicken.
- Don't move the chicken around too much in the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for a few minutes per side so that it can develop a nice crust.
- Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Fierro chicken is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great source of protein and can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, potatoes, or vegetables. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, fierro chicken is sure to please.
