Perfect Roast Chicken

Perfect Roast Chicken

Want a roasted chicken that is juicy inside without the use of a baking bag or flour? Then this recipe is perfect. It is quick and easy to prepare. The picture shown does display a chicken that was cooked in a bag, but the chicken was also roasted with vegetables and needed the bag to immerse the vegetables in the chicken flavor. I still guarantee a juicy chicken without the use of a bag each and every time.

Prep Time:

Cook Time:
2 hrs
Total Time:
2 hrs 15 mins
Yield:
1 whole roasted chicken
Servings:
6

Ingredients

  • 1 (4 pound) whole chicken
  • 1 cup margarine, softened
  • 1 tablespoon garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 pinch dried rosemary

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2
Rinse and pat chicken thoroughly dry with paper towels. Mix margarine, garlic salt, black pepper, thyme, parsley, and rosemary in a bowl and rub the outside of the chicken thoroughly with the margarine mixture. Place any remaining margarine mixture into the cavity of the chicken. Place chicken into a glass baking dish.

Step 3
Bake chicken in the preheated oven until browned and the juices run clear, about 2 hours. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh, not touching bone, should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
