Recipe for whole roasted chicken
There is almost nothing like the smell of roasted chicken!
Whole roasted chicken in the oven is super easy to make – and it’s a guaranteed hit at the dinner table.
This chicken turned out amazingly juicy and tender.
I got a monthly package from my local butcher, and in it was a free-range chicken weighing a full 1800 grams.
I often buy 1200-gram chickens on sale, as the budget is often tight, so this chicken was of quite a different quality and size than what I am used to handling.
Guests were obviously invited over, as the chicken was way too big for just the two of us at home 😉
