Our recipe for roasting a whole chicken is easy and adaptable to what you love. We use a preheated 425°F oven to guarantee crispy, golden-brown skin and firm, juicy meat. If you prefer roasted chicken with softer, fall-off-the-bone meat, roast at 325°F.
Ingredient:
- 1 whole chicken, 5 to 6 pounds, patted dry
- Salt and fresh ground pepper
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1/2 cup (120ml) water or chicken broth
- 1 lemon, quartered, optional
- 1 whole head garlic, halved crosswise, optional
- Small bunch fresh herbs, such as thyme, rosemary and sage, optional
