Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Remove and discard any excess fat from the inside of the chicken; remove the neck, heart and liver and freeze for use in chicken stock or discard. Rinse the chicken inside and out under cold running water. Set on paper towels, pat dry and transfer to the roasting pan, breast-side up. To prevent them from burning, twist and tuck the wings under the chicken.
- 2
Place the onion, lemon and garlic in the body cavity. Drizzle the olive oil over the bird and, with your hands, rub it on evenly. Clean your hands; sprinkle the salt and pepper over the chicken. Working with one dried herb at a time, place the measured amount in the palm of your hand and rub your palms together over the chicken to crush the herbs and release more of their flavours.
- 3
Place the chicken in the oven and roast for 1 hour. If your oven is "uneven" you will need to rotate the pan every 20 minutes to get an even browning of the skin. Remove the roasting pan from the oven and transfer the chicken to a platter. Allow the chicken to rest under a loose foil tent for 10 minutes before carving.

During this time, pour the roasting pan juices into a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add 1/4 c water and scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the mixture to a boil, immediately reduce to a simmer, and let cook for 2 minutes.

Carve the chicken into serving pieces; pour the reduced cooking juices over the slices and serve.

My children asked I roast a whole chicken for Christmas 5 years ago and they loved it. Since then I have repeated this every Christmas. This year I shared this recipe at my cooking lessons.The chicken is very tender and juicy when cooked this way.Salt and pepper the outside of the chicken generously. They are going to come off with the cooking juice and the resultant chicken will be tasteless.You can use thyme instead if you can not find any rosemary. Recipe by Dauri

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* -

This is a simple way to roast chicken that makes the meat aromatic and delicious! Lately for Thanksgiving & Christmas, I've been roasting chicken instead of big turkeys, simply because I don't need to feed so many people (not to mention I have a tiny oven). I think it's still just as festive ;)Roasting guide (Oven at 400°F/200°C):2 to 2.3 kg (4.5 to 5 pounds) - 65 to 75 min.1.6 to 1.8 kg (3.5 to 4 pounds) - 50 to 60 min.
