About
It doesn’t get any easier than roasting a whole chicken. All you need to do is pat the chicken dry, smear it with some fat, salt and spices. The key to getting a perfectly cooked chicken is using a thermometer to check for doneness. Once the thickest part of the chicken (usually the thigh or breast) reaches 165 F, the chicken is done. It’ll be so hot, juicy and delicious and you can pair it with so many vegetables and sides.
