Tips & Secrets

  • Patting the skin bone-dry is the secret to achieving that professional-grade crispy golden skin.
  • Rubbing herb butter under the skin ensures the breast meat stays incredibly moist and flavorful.
  • Letting the chicken rest after roasting is crucial; it allows the juices to redistribute through the meat.
  • Roasting on a bed of vegetables like carrots and potatoes creates a built-in side dish and extra flavor.
