Roast Chicken

Ingredients

  • 1 whole chicken (1.9 kg)

Pantry staples:

  • 2 tablespoons oil

  • Salt

  • Black pepper

Method

  • Take the chicken out of the fridge 20–30 minutes before cooking. Pat it dry well.

  • Rub oil all over the chicken and season generously with salt and pepper, including inside the cavity.

  • Place the chicken breast-side up in a roasting dish.

  • Roast for 1 hour 35 minutes. Check the thigh: the juices should run clear.

  • Let the chicken rest for 10–15 minutes.

  • Shred the meat, separate the skin, and set aside the bones in a separate bowl.
