Directions
Perfect Roasted Chicken, This is a very flavorful and simple way to roast a chicken. Recipe inspired by Barefoot Contessa., People often overlook simple recipes but most of the time those are the ones that turn out the best. I too was intimidated by roasting a whole chicken. Tried it once with a complicated recipe with very many herbs and spices that just overwhelmed the chicken. This one is truly a gem. Easy, no fuss with ingredients most of us usually have on hand at home. THANK YOU Ingy1171, YAY a chicken victory for me, FINALLY! I could not be easier or tastier! I agonize over the timing of roasted chicken. This recipe was spot on! Very juicy and flavorful w/o any of the seasonings being overpowering in any way. I roasted the 4# chicken @ 400/ convection oven. It was done in 90 minutes. I let it rest and carved it. I did add a couple things to the ingredients list. I substituted 1 teaspoon dried thyme for fresh and added a bit of olive oil to the softened butter & a squeeze of lemon juice. When I made gravy from the drippings, I added a splash of white wine. DELICIOUS. My family raved over it. Thanks Ina & Ingy!
