Perfect Roast Chicken
RECIPE COURTESY OF INA GARTEN
Level: Intermediate
Total: 2 hr 10 min
Prep: 20 min
Inactive: 20 min
Cook: 1 hr 30 min
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients
1 (5 to 6 pound) roasting chicken
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 large bunch fresh thyme, plus 20 sprigs
1 lemon, halved
1 head garlic, cut in half crosswise
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter, melted
1 large yellow onion, thickly sliced
4 carrots cut into 2-inch chunks
1 bulb of fennel, tops removed, and cut into wedges
Olive oil
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Remove the chicken giblets. Rinse the chicken inside and out.
Remove any excess fat and leftover pin feathers and pat the outside dry. Liberally salt and pepper the inside of the chicken.
Stuff the cavity with the bunch of thyme, both halves of lemon, and all the garlic. Brush the outside of the chicken with the butter and sprinkle again with salt and pepper. Tie the legs together with kitchen string and tuck the wing tips under the body of the chicken.
Place the onions, carrots, and fennel in a roasting pan. Toss with salt, pepper, 20 sprigs of thyme, and olive oil. Spread around the bottom of the roasting pan and place the chicken on top.
Roast the chicken for 1 1/2 hours, or until the juices run clear when you cut between a leg and thigh. Remove the chicken and vegetables to a platter and cover with aluminum foil for about 20 minutes. Slice the chicken onto a platter and serve it with the vegetables.

Food safety authorities and regulators around the world recommend you don't wash raw poultry before cooking. That's because washing chicken can splash dangerous bacteria around the kitchen. It's best just to thoroughly cook the chicken without washing it, so it is safe to eat. thought she would have known that lol

I needed this little tutorial on cooking a whole chicken because I have been doing just parts since my kiddos are now grown with families of their own. Just hubby of 56 years and moi. But I got a beautiful whole chicken on sale and I'm cooking it up today….just as you have shown here. Thank you. Los Angeles.

This is where I learned to roast chicken.. I’ve made it this way ever since. Another way to tell if it’s done is by temping it.
If the chicken reads at 160, pull it out of the oven and cover it in foil like Ina showed. As it rests, the juices will run back into the chicken and the temperature will increase another 5-10 degrees. It makes for the juiciest chicken.

Everyone knows Ina is the best. I LOVE her:). I used to hate chicken breast as a meal because it’s dry! Not, Ina’s chicken piccata. Make it! Like her roast chicken, this is what your family will remember:))))
