Easy, Simple Roasted Chicken

The house smells so lovely. 

Chicken is roasting in the oven and I am a happy bee. 

This is truly one of my favorite recipes because it is so easy and is so delicious!

My simple, easy roasted whole chicken recipe:

1 whole chicken (preferrably organic)

salt (kosher or sea)

black pepper

garlic salt 

optional

goya adobo powder seasoning

This recipe can be tweaked to your favorite seasonings. 

Prep:

To prevent spread of ickies (salmonella etc) wash hands well and have ingredients, pan and foil set aside and set to go. 

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Place foil on oven pan. 

Remove giblets from inside cavity (throw away)

Wash chicken and place inside stainless steel bowl 

Season generously all sides of chicken and chicken cavity with salt, pepper and garlic salt. 

(Or you can just season with the adobo seasoning - which can be very tasty too)

Once seasoned, place bird on pan lined with foil. 

Take kitchen twine, string or even a rubberband and tie the chickens legs together. This helps with even cooking of the bird, plus its just a nice presentation.

Wash hands well!

Place pan in oven and roast for 15 min. 

Drop down heat to 375 degrees after the first 15 mins and roast for about an hour or an hour and a half  until juices run clear. 

Take out of oven and let this lady bird rest for at least 10 min under foil. 

In the end you should have a lovely, succulent crispy-skinned chicken that will beautifully pair with rice, salad or veggies. It is soo good for a simple recipe you will want to make this any night of the week. 

Enjoy!  Until next time...
