Season chicken with salt and pepper, stuff, pour and rub marinade over it.

Roast chicken in a roasting pan or skillet that allows hot air to reach all the sides until golden brown appearance.

Trussing Chicken before Roasting

Trussing will give chicken a compact shape and chicken will be cooked evenly and will hold moisture.

Tie bird’s legs with a string. Simply pass the string underneath the joints at the end of the drumsticks and cross the ends of the string to make X, then tie.

how Long to Roast a Chicken

Place chicken, breast side up, on a rack in a roasting pan/skillet in the oven preheated to 450°F/232°C. Once the chicken has been roasted to a golden brown color, turn down the temperature to 350°F/77°C. Continue roasting and basting from time to time. Roast until the thigh meat reaches an internal temperature of 165°F/74°C. Remove from the oven.

Should I Allow Roasted Chicken Rest?

YES! Remove from the oven, cover loosely with foil to keep it moist, place in a warm a place and allow to rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. Why is it important?

As chicken roasts, all the juices become concentrated in the center.

  • Resting period gives juices time to redistribute evenly inside of the roasted chicken.
  • It helps the temperature to equalize that improves the flavor and the texture.

Consider resting as a last stage of cooking when it comes to roasting or grilling.
