This is easy! If you don't have a convection option just roast it conventionally and it will be yummy.

Time 5h20m

Yield 1 chicken, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 lbs chicken
1/2 onion
1/2 carrot
1 celery rib
1 sprig thyme
1/2 lemon
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne (more or less)
1/4 cup butter (2 TB, more or less)
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 cups stock

Steps:

  • Kosher the chicken in very cold water with 1/2 cup kosher salt for at least two hours to 6 hours.
  • Dry chicken very well inside and out and stuff with onion, carrot, celery, thyme and lemon.
  • Separate skin from chicken breast, legs and thighs and push butter under and smoosh it down so it spreads a little.
  • Mix salt, pepper, paprika, white pepper together and rub on outside of chicken.
  • Put chicken into a zip baggie and refrigerate overnight.
  • Next day, dry chicken again and sprinkle skin with corn startch. Set on a rack in a shallow pan breast side down (I use a cast iron skillet). Pour two cups of stock into the pan and roast at 275 conventional or 250 convection for 4 to 5 hours until the thigh meat registers at least 160.
  • Flip bird breast side up for the last 30 - 45 minutes.
  • A four pound bird will take about 4 hours and a five pounder will take about 5 hours. Do not judge by the time, judge by the thigh temperature.
  • Serve with potatoes, rice or egg noodles.

I'm not a big fan of chicken, but I loved this recipe. The chicken was so moist and flavorful, and the skin was crispy and delicious.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made a chicken pot pie with the leftovers, and it was delicious.

I'm a vegetarian, but I still love this recipe. I use tofu instead of chicken, and it turns out just as delicious.

I was skeptical about cooking a whole chicken in my convection oven, but I was pleasantly surprised. The chicken cooked evenly and quickly, and the meat was moist and flavorful.

This is the best roasted chicken I've ever had! The convection oven really helped to cook the chicken evenly and quickly. I'll never roast a chicken in a regular oven again.

This roasted chicken turned out amazing! The meat was so juicy and flavorful, and the skin was crispy and golden brown. I'll definitely be making this again.
