The Perfect Roast Chicken

Roasted Chicken with Thyme

 

In my neck of the woods the weather folks keep telling us the “January Thaw” is here…meaning the temps are in the 30-40 degree range. Well, that is still C-O-L-D if you ask me!

When the weather is- let's say- brisk, I love cooking meals that fill the house with smells of warmth and down right goodness. What are my favorites? I love the long and slow…like a great pot roast, beef brisket or a roasted chicken. The latter probably being my favorite.

Roasting a chicken is down right easy…ANYONE can make this delicious meal! Honest! I'm going to share my favorite recipe and I would love for you to try it as well. Come back and let me know how it turned out!
