An Appetizing Roasted Chicken Recipe

Roast chicken can come in handy when one is having an outdoor party. It can be prepared by grilling or on a roasting rack set over the pan. For those who prefer a roasting rack, the pan is to be lined with aluminum foil for easy cleaning. The chicken should not rest on its drippings for crispier taste. This chicken recipe will be helpful for those who want some juicy roasted chicken.

If the chicken was frozen, it will be first placed in water to remove the frost. The chicken is them immersed into salty water for about 2 hours. A mixture of pepper, white wine vinegar and butter is used to soak the chicken. Then stuff onion rings and cloves of garlic into the chickens’ cavity. If one wants to add aroma and extra flavor taste to the chicken, add lemon juice. After dressing up the chicken, it can be roasted over a preheated oven of about 180oC. Slowly roast for 35-40 minutes.

For those who prefer crispy darker skin, they can use the high heat method. First one places the chicken on a preheated oven of about 240oC for about 10 minutes. The heat is then lowered to that of regular roasting (180oC) for 20 minutes. It is then removed from the oven and covered loosely with double aluminum foil and left to cool for about 15 minutes. The roasted chicken is then cut into smaller sizable pieces.

This chicken recipe can be served with a number of accompaniments such as rice, pasta or potato fries. This dish is versatile as it can be used either as a meal or a bite. If it is to be taken as a main meal, say dinner, it can be prepared with soup, sauce or sliced tomatoes and onions sprinkled with vinegar. One can still save bones to make chicken soup.
