How Dads Can Whip Up Amazing Roasted Chicken At Home Tonight

By Jason Glover


In today's modern family, many moms and dads are working full-time jobs. Plus, in some households the mother works and the father spends more time at home with the children. This can create many situations where men need to fix a meal and it needs to be nutritious and relatively simple to prepare. Here are some examples of easy roasted chicken recipes that most men can fix without problems.

The first thing to know about roasted chicken recipes, is buying the chicken, and not all chickens are the same. If you want a meal that really tastes great, you should consider buying a whole chicken from a meat market or place known for its good meat. It costs more than bargain chicken at the local supermarket, but you will notice a difference in texture and taste.

All dads that cook need to be aware of the proper way to prepare the chicken before cooking. Cold or wet chickens may bake unevenly and this can cause major problems. Never cook a cold or frozen bird, so take it out of the refrigerator ahead of time, and give it a half hour to warm up. There is no need to wash off the bird. You can simply pat with paper towels until dry, and this will give you excellent results.

Make sure to season to taste. Also, have the oven already heated to about 400 degrees F. To prepare good tasting lemon roasted chicken, rub with pepper, salt, and garlic (if you like). Next cut up a lemon and put the slices inside your bird. Use toothpicks to keep the cavity closed and floss or twine will work for tying the legs together. When you tie the legs, the meat does not dry out.

Put your chicken in the roasting pan breast side up and every 15 or 20 minutes, remove and baste. If you don't have a baster, you can use a large spoon or perhaps a ladle. Basting keeps the chicken moist and prevents the meat from getting too dry.

A lot of dads cooking roasted chicken are pressed for time, so you might want to invest in some inexpensive roasting bags from the grocery store. Just look for the aluminum foil and the bags should be somewhere nearby. Roasting bags are easy to use and will lower total cooking time, because there is no need to open and close the oven for basting.

Uncooked fowl can cause stomach distress so be certain that your chicken is well done. To check, stick your meat thermometer in the thick area of a thigh. If it is not 170 degrees or more, replace in the oven and cook for several more minutes. After it is done, you should let the chicken set for at least fifteen minutes before carving.
