It’s a Christmas chicken!

Great basic roast chicken recipe!

I was tired of eating dried out rotisserie chicken from the grocery store, plus I wanted a crispy skin. I just started using kamado insulated cooker and it was the perfect set up for making whole roasted chicken.

Easy and cheap option that goes a long way. Eat a portion with veggies for dinner tonight, then use the rest for the week’s meal prep. Add to salads, soup, burritos, and more. Freeze the carcass and make stock later on.

I modified the roast chicken recipe in recipe author Harumi Kurihara's cookbook to my own version. She used Thai rice, but I used glutinous mochi rice because I like it with my stuffing more. If you serve it with soy sauce, it takes on a Japanese flair.Even though it's annoying, basting the bird with the soup during the cooking process results in a crispy-skinned roast chicken that's moist and tender on the inside. For 4 servings. Recipe by izumi*
