JUICY ROASTED CHICKEN



Juicy Roasted Chicken image

My grandmother's recipe for roasted chicken. We are German and she used to do it this way all the time. I never have had a chicken this juicy before; this little trick works and makes the people eating it go silent. It's funny. We nibble on the celery after.

  • Liberally rub outside of chicken with salt mixture, then put the remaining salt mixture inside of the chicken cavity. Don't be afraid of the salt! Remember, we want the bird seasoned all the way through! I promise that it wont be salty. You may even want to use extra salt in the cavity, especially if you are using kosher salt.
  • Put into a plastic bag and chill in fridge overnight. The longer the better.
  • Day Of:.

  • Put butter, lemon and garlic into cavity. You can also use herbs, onion etc.
  • Pat outside of chicken dry, then rub the chicken with olive oil.
  • Sprinkle Montreal steak seasoning on all sides. (Makes it really pretty when done).
  • Place chicken in a roaster with a rack breast side up.
  • Bake uncovered for approx 20 min per pound, or until thermometer in thickest part of thigh is between 175 to 180 degrees f.
  • DO NOT OVERCOOK!
  • Remove bird from oven and cover with foil. Allow to rest for at least 20 minutes, the longer the rest time, the jucier the chicken gets, so do not skip this step! It wont be juicy if it doesn't rest!
  • Enjoy!

MOIST ROASTED WHOLE CHICKEN



Moist Roasted Whole Chicken image

I found a version of this recipe online somewhere and used it to take a roasted chicken to church for a special sampling of foods you can get from ordering foods from Angel Food Ministries. (http://www.angelfoodministries.com/) Everyone raved about it and since I am going to roast one for home today I decided to add the recipe here too. This is a well seasoned bird which is cooked with high heat for the first 20 minutes then cooked the remaining 40-50 minutes at a lower temperature. This makes the chicken nice and moist and very flavorful. It's easy and quick to prepare as well.

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 whole chicken, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 -3 lb roasting chicken
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 450 degrees before starting to prepare the chicken.
  • Place the whole chicken into a medium sized baking pan.
  • Rub the entire bird with the olive oil.
  • In a small bowl combine the salt, pepper, oregano, basil, and paprika, then sprinkle evenly over chicken.
  • In the preheated oven bake the chicken for 20 minutes.
  • Lower the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Continue baking for 40-50 minutes, or until golden brown and juices run clear.
  • If your chicken looks like it is browning too quickly, Lay a sheet of tin foil over the top loosely and it will slow down the browning for you.
  • Let the chicken rest in it's juices for at least 10 minutes before carving and serving. (This let's the bird reabsorb some of the juices and helps to make it even more moist.).
