Cooking can be so simple and delicious. I recently learn this super simple perfect technique to roast chicken. It’s a game changer. Having a few easy go to meals is a great way to develop the habit of eating real food .
Perfectly Crispy Golden Chicken
1 4 lb organic chicken
EVOO or organic butter or ghee
Salt pepper / optional lemon & herbs if you have them.
Instructions:
Set oven to 450 degrees. Place a cast iron or oven-safe pan in the oven while heating.
Dry chicken well. Rub all over with EVOO or ghee or butter. Season well with salt pepper herbs ( salt inside also) . Squeeze lemon over top. Place used lemon in the cavity of the chicken.
When the oven is at 450. Place chicken (breast up) in the hot pan. Be careful. Roast for 30 minutes. Turn off oven & continue to roast for another 30 minutes. Remove.
The chicken will be perfectly cooked! Crispy outside, moist inside. So good!!! Try one of the very easy simples sauce recipes ( in another post of mine) to place on top of the chicken if you want to make it fancier.
You could roast vegetables alongside the chicken and add a simple salad for a nutritious meal. The leftovers are ideal for topping a big salad for lunch.
Start developing the habit of eating healthy. Having simple easy methods of cooking are the key to developing this habit.
