It seems at that topographic signal are two schools of stance when it comes to baking a whole chicken. Either y'all lot are an "old hand" at it...... OR y'all lot Pb keep completely avoided it because touching the raw carcass freaks y'all lot out. If the "freaking out" part sounds familiar, this post is for you!! It truly is boring to practice inwards improver to opens upwards a whole the world of recipes.
I buy whole chickens (when they are on super sale) inwards improver to freeze them. Just remember, it can take 2-3 days to thaw a big chicken (in the refrigerator) thence build sure enough you plan ahead.
I used to bake chickens whole (like y'all lot would a turkey), but I was GROSSED OUT by the unappetizing gray-ish colored juices that pooled inside of the empty chicken cavity when it baked (shudder).
To remedy that, I started splitting the raw chicken opened upwards by removing the backbone, then I laid it out aeroplane to bake. Not only did this eliminate the gray-ish juices, but it reduced the baking quaternary dimension inwards improver to gave me lots of crispy skin.
Start off alongside a whole, thawed, iii to 4 pound chicken. For me, this first step is easiest to practice inwards my kitchen sink for but well-nigh reason. Working alongside the backbone side facing you, role abrupt kitchen shears to cutting downward along 1 side of the chicken backbone, then practice the same to the other side of the backbone. You tin also practice this criterion alongside a abrupt knife, but it is safer inwards improver to easier alongside kitchen shears. Remove the backbone inwards improver to discard or save for stock.
Once the backbone is removed, rinse the chicken under usual depression temperature running water, then blot dry out out alongside paper towels.
At this stage, the chicken will not want to "lay flat" similar inwards the photo below. To learn it to practice that, plough the chicken over thence y'all lot tin come upward across the bones; build a SMALL cutting at the top-center of the chest os inwards improver to flex that os alongside your hands, straight it testament easily position out flat. Sounds complicated (but it isn't) inwards improver to it just takes a sec to do.
Lay the chicken (skin side up) inwards a roasting pan and rotate the thigh-leg per centum thence that they position out aeroplane and to either side of the chicken breast, (click on this photograph to learn a amend look).
Brush the chicken peel lightly alongside butter inwards improver to sprinkle with a little onion powder inwards improver to dried (and crushed) rosemary (see authorities annotation below) then generously sprinkle everything with table common salt inwards improver to pepper.
Surround the chicken alongside your favorite veggies if y'all lot similar (but non necessary). I role potatoes, carrots, chopped celery inwards improver to onions.
TIP: If y'all lot Pb keep a nice large roasting pan, learn out out the veggies inwards improver to bake TWO of these obese hens at the same time. You'll Pb keep enough chicken for dinner AND sandwiches, salads, quick dinners, etc. for the whole week, non to cite lots of broth for gravy!!
Bake, uncovered, in pre-heated 400° oven for xxx minutes. After xxx minutes, reduce the oven to 375° inwards improver to bake for 1 more hour.
Remove chicken from oven inwards improver to spoon pan juices over the chicken. Cover loosely alongside foil inwards improver to allow the meat residual for 5-10 minutes. This "rest time" assures your chicken meat testament alive on truly tender inwards improver to juicy.
NOTE: The backbone that y'all lot removed makes GREAT chicken stock. Save them inwards the freezer inwards improver to when you have several, throw them into a crockpot alongside 2 quarts of water, but well-nigh chopped onion, celery, inwards improver to a few peppercorns. Let it create on depression all night. The side past times side morning, strain the bones inwards improver to bits out of the stock inwards improver to allow it chill thence y'all lot tin skim off any fat. You tin either role this stock immediately or freeze it. It is worlds amend than canned chicken broth.
NOTE: Rosemary goes wonderfully alongside baked chicken, it cast of tastes similar stuffing to me. It looks similar hard pine needles, thence I trounce mine upwards before I sprinkle it on the raw chicken.
