In my opinion everyone should know how to cook at least one dish off the top of their head. Roasted chicken is a fantastic one. It is easy and looks fantastic and it is a dish that you can put in the oven and come back to an hour later. Finally we have found (at least Buzzfeed found) the BEST recipe for roasted chicken.
What you need:
Whole chicken
Olive oil
5 cloves garlic
5 tablespoons butter
Poultry seasoning or every day seasoning
Garlic salt
Pepper
Fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, sage, tarragon, etc)
Half a lemon
Roasting dish or regular baking dish
What you do:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Remove innards from chicken and throw them away.
Coat chicken in olive oil inside and out.
Cover chicken in herbs inside and out.
Peel and crush garlic.
Cut butter into 1 tbsp chunks.
Juice lemon over chicken before stuffing the squeezed lemon, 1 crushed clove garlic, and one tbsp butter inside the chicken.
Put 1 chunk butter and 2 cloves garlic under the chicken and the remainder on top of the chicken.
Put in oven for 1 hour and leave it. Do not open the door or anything unless you see lots of smoke.
After 1 hour, remove from oven and let sit for 15 mins.
Brush occasionally with butter and juices from the pan.
Cut meat off of chicken and serve hot.
