How to Roast a Chicken, From Martha Stewart Living, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! This was incredible I had gotten an extremely cheap chicken from a friend of mine last year and just popped it in the freezer I just remembered it now and figured might as well try I did everything plus added a bit more extra seasoning and also added potatoes and carrots and a bit of bacon fat Even being a normally dry old chicken, this chicken came out 4 star!, WOW! This was fantastic My kids loved it and asked for seconds They also asked for leftovers the next night–that says something right there I also made this for friends and they said it was excellent The only change I made was with the rosemary; I didn’t have any fresh and our local supermarket doesn’t sell it So, I just threw in some dry rosemary Don’t know how much used, but it was enough to give a hint of rosemary I will definitely make this again FANTASTIC! UPDATE: Since I have been trying to eat healthier, I have made this without the butter and the salt and pepper It was just as good I drizzled the top with a little olive oil in place of the butter
