🍗 The easiest roast chicken every family should know how to make. A whole chicken is always my go-to starter recipe when you want to cook more at home. It’s affordable, forgiving, and turns into endless leftovers for salads, sandwiches, and rice bowls all week long. Here’s my foolproof 3-step roast chicken method 👇 STEP 1: Season + Rest Season a whole chicken generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a little smoked paprika or your favorite seasoning blend. Let it rest on the counter for 30 minutes while the oven preheats to 415°. Place a cast iron pan in the oven to heat. Note: I use @lodgecastiron STEP 2: Roast (the secret step) Carefully remove the ripping hot pan from the oven and place the chicken directly into it. This jump-starts the dark meat so everything cooks evenly. Roast for about 1 hour, until fully cooked. STEP 3: Rest + Schmaltzy Toast Let the chicken rest in the pan for about 30 minutes before carving so it stays juicy. Slice a baguette, butter it, and dunk it straight into that schmaltz in the pan. Do not skip this. Serve with roasted veggies and something pickled like onions or cauliflower for a balanced, cozy dinner that feels special but is incredibly simple. I love so many pickled veggies but I usually have @wildbrine in my fridge! This meal was inspired by and made for a special friend that is on a cooking journey @snacksandslowjams #roastchicken #roastchickendinner #simplerecipes #healthyfamilymeals #castironcooking

FOOLPROOF ROAST CHICKEN 🐥 I don’t pretend to be a great cook. But I do know how to make a perfect roast chicken- every single time. I get asked for this recipe often, so here it is: ✨ Sunny’s No-Fail Roast Chicken ✨ • 🔑 Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C) on Convection Roast if you can. If not, Roast works fine. • Bring chicken to room temp (about 1 hour). • Remove innards. Pat dry. No washing. 🔑 Cooking time: 18 minutes per pound + 15 additional minutes ➡️ Convection roast? Roast for 75% of total time (my preference). • Salt + pepper cavity, add halved lemon • Brush chicken with melted butter or EVOO • Generously salt & pepper • Sprinkle rosemary (fresh or dried) + a few sprigs inside cavity if you have fresh • Roast in foil-lined pan (light spray so it won’t stick) 🔑 DO NOT TOUCH IT. NO BASTING NEEDED. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes, then carve. Use the drippings as gravy if you like. 😉 🧼 Wash hands often when handling raw chicken. Easiest. Most satisfying. Always works. Will you try this? Tell me ⬇️… and have a fabulous Friday, babes ❤️ 🛟 Save this for when you want a great meal with little effort.

Classic Roast Chicken recipe below 🍗 This recipe is Hashimoto’s friendly, & friendly for everyone else too 🫶 You’ll need: - Chicken (I buy a whole chicken, insides removed) - Potatoes - Carrots - Onion (any color) - Ghee (I recommend avocado oil or beef tallow if you’re strict DF) - Whole garlic (optional) Seasoning: - Salt - Pepper - Garlic powder - Smoked paprika - Dried parsley Instructions: Chop your potatoes & veggies! I coat my potatoes with ghee, then season with salt, garlic powder & smoked paprika. Do this 2-3x until they’re fully coated. Let’s prep the chicken - I coat mine with ghee, then season with more salt, pepper & garlic powder. Next, spread your potatoes, carrots & onions on a pan lined with parchment paper (optional, but highly recommend as it helps with cleanup!) I typically season my carrots & onions separately beforehand, but it doesn’t really matter - you can’t mess up this recipe! I seasoned with more salt & garlic powder once they were on the pan. I used an air fryer oven ♨️ I pre-heated to 375F (190C) using “roast” setting. I cooked it for ~1 hour + 15 minutes, & used a thermometer to check the internal temperature in the thickest part of the thigh was 165F (~74C). I also rotated halfway through to ensure even cooking. If you’re using a regular oven 🔥 Pre-heat to 400F (205C) on regular “bake” or “roast” setting & cook for about 1 hour 15 - 30 minutes. Rest the chicken 10–15 minutes before carving to ensure it’s nice & juicy & that’s it!! Enjoy 😋 Tips 💓 *A whole chicken is usually more cost effective > individual pieces 🍗 *Cook time will depend on the size of your chicken & your oven! A good rule of thumb is to cook ~20 minutes per pound of chicken 🐓 *The fool proof way to check if your chicken is done, is to use a thermometer 🌡️ #hashimotosdiet #hashimotosweightloss #glutenfree #antiinflammatorydiet #healthyrecipes

Recipe 35 - the best citrus and herb roast chicken 🍋🧄🧈 Veering away from fruits and vegetables to bring you my ultimate Sunday roast chicken as I was craving something salty and juicy, and this ticks all the boxes! A well seasoned compound butter (and LOTS of it) smeared all over the meat is key to the juiciest, most flavoursome bird and it’s not as difficult as it looks. And make sure to rest the meat for at least 15 minutes after cooking. #TheIngredientDiaries SAVE the recipe below 👇🏼 Ingredients: 1 large high quality chicken (around 2kg) 125g butter, softened 1 unwaxed lemon 1 orange or blood orange 3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced 3 sprigs lemon thyme 2 sprig rosemary 2 sprigs sage ½ tsp fennel seeds 1 1/2 tsp smoked sea salt flakes 1 tbsp olive oil 1. Remove the chicken from the fridge and bring to room temperature. Dry the skin thoroughly with a paper towel. Preheat the oven to 200C fan. 2. To make the compound butter, place the butter into a small bowl and add the lemon zest, orange zest and garlic. Finely chop the leaves from the herbs, and crush the fennel seeds to a fine powder using a pestle and mortar. Add both to the butter, with the salt and a grind of black pepper, and stir well. 3. Using your fingers, carefully prise the skin from the chicken breast, creating a pocket all the way over the breasts and the top of the legs. Fill with ¾ of the compound butter, smearing it as evenly as you can underneath the skin. 4. Slice the lemon and orange into quarters and use to stuff the the cavity, along with any other herbs. Drizzle the skin with olive oil and season with salt. 5. Place the chicken into the centre of the oven, roast for 20 minutes, then lower the temperature to 180C fan and rotate the roasting dish for even browning. Roast for 40-50 minutes, until the skin is golden brown. Dot with the remaining butter 10 minutes before the chicken is ready. 6. The chicken is ready when the thickest part registers 75ºC on a meat thermometer, and there is no pink meat and the juices run clear. Allow to rest for 15 minutes before slicing. #RoastChicken #SundayRoast #Recipes #fromscratch
