Roasted Whole Chicken

Learning how to cook a great whole chicken roast was a moment I felt like a real cook.  Humoursly though it was so easy once I just got in there and did it!  Don’t let this scare you, it’s very easy to roast a chicken and is an easy meal that feeds everyone.  Make it a one pan dinner and add in cut up potatoes and carrots to cook with the meat.

  • Publix Idaho Russet Potatoes, 5 lb, $3.99
