How To Roast A Whole Chicken
We learned that roasting a whole chicken is easy and allows you to vary your seasonings to your own taste. For a simple but satisfying taste, sprinkle with seasoned salt and roast. For an Italian flair, season with salt and pepper along with Italian seasoning. You are limited only by your taste buds and imagination. ~ Kris

- Favorite Seasonings
- 1. If chicken is frozen, allow enough time for it to thaw in a safe way—in the refrigerator or in cold water. Safely defrosting does not include microwaving!
- 2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (191 degrees C). Oil a shallow baking dish large enough to hold the chicken with a little extra room.
- 3. Wash the chicken under cold running water, using your fingers to ensure all areas of skin folds are rinsed off. Remove any residual internal organs from the inside and rinse well. Pat dry with paper towels.
- 4. Either spray or rub oil of your choice on all sides of the chicken, and place in pan with breast side down. Sprinkle your favorite seasonings as evenly as possible over the chicken. Turn chicken over and repeat the process.
- 5. Bake uncovered, breast side up using the following formula, depending on weight of the chicken.
- - 4 to 5 lbs - bake for 1 hour 30 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes
- - Over 5 lbs - bake for 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours
- 6. Baste juices over chicken occasionally as it bakes.
- Roasting pan
- Bake time varies according to weight
