LAURIE COLWIN'S ROAST CHICKEN
Here is a straightforward roast chicken recipe from the writer Laurie Colwin, who swore by simplicity - in the kitchen and in life. Not many people will take the time to stuff and truss a chicken, and Ms. Colwin famously abandoned the practice when she found her child making spider webs with her expensive trussing string. Try the trussing and stuffing sometime, though. A little time, simply spent, rewards with tender meat and a savory stuffing, an easy feast for a night at home.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Rinse chicken and pat dry. Combine bread and mushrooms in a bowl and toss with broth. Season to taste. Stuff chicken and secure with poultry pin or toothpick. Place in roasting pan and sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika. Baste with olive oil. (If desired, surround it with carrots, potatoes, onions, garlic and a red pepper.)
- Roast for about 2 hours, basting frequently with melted butter and pan juices. The chicken is done when the leg bone wiggles and the skin is the color of teak.
