Tammy’s Chicken Roasting Tips
*For best results and a crispier chicken, let roaster sit in the refrigerator uncovered overnight.
*Sprinkle, then rub in kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. Rub vegetable oil over entire chicken.
*Roast chicken on a roasting rack in a heavy roasting pan, not an aluminum one.
*Roast in a 350 degree oven and watch the inserted thermometer until chicken reaches the correct temperature. Remove from oven and loosely cover with heavy duty aluminum foil, or 2 sheets of regular foil. Let sit for at least 10 minutes, allowing the juices to soak back into the meat. Now you are ready to slice, eat and enjoy!
