Oven Roasted Chicken: How to Roast a Chicken
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 roasting chicken – I usually buy small roasting chickens from Costco (and they usually weigh between 4–5 lbs.)
- olive oil
- savoury herbs like rosemary (sage and thyme)
- salt & fresh ground pepper
Instructions
- Rub the chicken with a couple tablespoons of olive oil.
- Sprinkle on your favourite savoury herbs. I like to use rosemary, sage, and thyme.
- Generously salt & pepper.
- Bake in a 350 degree oven for approximately 2 – 2 1/2 hours (or longer), this is for a small roaster chicken weighing about 4-5 lbs. Just make sure the internal temperature is between 160 – 165 degrees.
