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!
