There aren’t many smells I enjoy more throughout the house than a chicken roasting. We don’t have a roast dinner every Sunday, but it’s definitely something that really makes a Sunday afternoon.
Throughout the years I have tried many and varied methods for roasting a chicken, some overly complicated and with little reward. For the last five years I have followed my own way of roasting a chicken and it works every time.
