So you never roasted a chicken? Lots of people have never roasted a chicken, and I had no knowledge till Mama taught me when I was a young bride, oh so many years ago. But as soon as I tell you how Betty did it, you will do it all the time.The aroma will fill your house and soothe hungry little tummies.
Buy a chicken
Unwrap it from it's plastic wrap
Take out the guts from inside the chicken, it's okay they are wrapped
Take out a baking rack that fits into one of your roast pans or improvise with another pan
Put your chicken on the rack
Cut up a lemon and place inside the chicken
Sprinkle with lots of salt and pepper
Coat the skin with a little olive oil, give it a good overall rubbing with your hands
Preheat oven to 325
Put in oven
Now Mama never bought a chicken where the little temperature thing popped out, she did it the only way that was done back then, cook the chicken for 15-20 minutes per pound.
Now wasn't that easy?
The photo is of my Thanksgiving turkey, so the same rules apply to turkey as well, Isn't she a beauty!
