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.

  • Dry the chicken thoroughly: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels before roasting. This will help the skin crisp up.
  • Season the chicken generously: Rub the chicken inside and out with a mixture of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as rosemary, thyme, or oregano.
  • Roast the chicken at a high temperature: This will help the skin crisp up and the meat cook through quickly.
  • Baste the chicken regularly: Basting the chicken with its own juices or a mixture of melted butter and olive oil will help keep it moist.
  • Let the chicken rest before carving: Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
