JUICY ROASTED CHICKEN



Juicy Roasted Chicken image

My grandmother's recipe for roasted chicken. We are German and she used to do it this way all the time. I never have had a chicken this juicy before; this little trick works and makes the people eating it go silent. It's funny. We nibble on the celery after.

MOIST & TENDER ROASTED CHICKEN



Moist & Tender Roasted Chicken image

Fabulous juicy and full of flavor is the only way to describe my roast chicken. I have done some experimenting with different seasonings and baking methods before coming up with the "perfect" chicken recipe. As I said before, anyone can cook if you are willing to take the time and put forth the required effort.

Time 2h10m

Yield 3-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 -6 lbs roasting chickens
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup Chardonnay wine
4 pieces low salt bacon
1/4 cup paprika

Steps:

  • Most important, make sure you wash the chicken throughly with warm water. Place chicken in center of large roasting pan, a rack may be placed in the center of roasting pan depending on size.
  • Cut butter into four pieces and pull back outer skin of chicken on both right and left side. Place two pieces of butter on each side of chicken and pull outer skin back to cover the butter.
  • Next, take the bacon strips and place 2 slices of bacon on the outer right side of the chicken and place the 2 remaining strips on the outer left part of the chicken. The purpose of the bacon is to make the chicken as tasty and juicy as possible.
  • Pour the 1/2 cup of Chardonnay wine over top of chicken and then add the remaining sesonings. Add the salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika.

  • Chicken should be a golden brown when fully baked. After removing roast from oven, let stand 10 minutes prior to serving, don't forget to remove the bacon strips before slicing.
  • You may serve this entree with homemade stuffing or baked Idaho potatoes. Enjoy!

MOIST ROASTED WHOLE CHICKEN



Moist Roasted Whole Chicken image

I found a version of this recipe online somewhere and used it to take a roasted chicken to church for a special sampling of foods you can get from ordering foods from Angel Food Ministries. (http://www.angelfoodministries.com/) Everyone raved about it and since I am going to roast one for home today I decided to add the recipe here too. This is a well seasoned bird which is cooked with high heat for the first 20 minutes then cooked the remaining 40-50 minutes at a lower temperature. This makes the chicken nice and moist and very flavorful. It's easy and quick to prepare as well.

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 whole chicken, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 -3 lb roasting chicken
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 450 degrees before starting to prepare the chicken.
  • Place the whole chicken into a medium sized baking pan.
  • Rub the entire bird with the olive oil.
  • In a small bowl combine the salt, pepper, oregano, basil, and paprika, then sprinkle evenly over chicken.
  • In the preheated oven bake the chicken for 20 minutes.
  • Lower the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Continue baking for 40-50 minutes, or until golden brown and juices run clear.
  • If your chicken looks like it is browning too quickly, Lay a sheet of tin foil over the top loosely and it will slow down the browning for you.
  • Let the chicken rest in it's juices for at least 10 minutes before carving and serving. (This let's the bird reabsorb some of the juices and helps to make it even more moist.).
