I always forget that sometimes even the simplest dishes can be the most confusing to some people. Seasoning, temperature, stuffing, etc., can all contribute in making a basic dish - special.
Roasting a chicken is easy - and provides ample leftovers for soup or chicken salad depending on your mood.
To roast the perfect chicken, follow these very easy, very simple steps. Delish!
Place a roaster in a shallow baking pan. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with pepper, paprika, garlic powder and coarse sea salt. That's it - stop! You really don't have to do much more! For a simple, easy-to-prepare meal scrub a couple of potatoes and throw them in the last hour to bake. Toss a green salad and you are done. . . no hassle, no pain, no recipe. . . just slow, family cooking at its best!
Rule of thumb - cook 20 minutes at 350 for every pound. I always 'poke' the chicken with a fork in the densest area (breast) - if clear liquid surfaces, it is done. If liquid is 'pinkish' let it go another 15 minutes and poke it again.
Not the most complex recipe posted. . . but some days you just want that homecooked meal without all the effort.
certainly not complex...standard recipe
