ROAST CHICKEN | a super easy whole roast chicken recipe (the easiest!)
Video Overview & Insights
Roast chicken is the ultimate kitchen staple! And my version is so ridiculously easy to make. There's just three ingredients!
This is one of those kitchen basics that you just need to know how to make! I hope this video helps you master roast chicken. :) xo - Lisa
In today's video, I'll teach you how to roast a chicken, so that you no longer have to buy a rotisserie chicken from the store. My homemade roast chicken recipe just tastes better (trust me) and you can control the amount, quality, and type of seasoning. Plus, there's the bonus that whole roasted chicken has the most insanely flavorful and crispy skin plus ultra juicy meat. It's a great alternative to my baked chicken or slow cooker chicken recipe, so give it a try and let me know what you think!

I just cooked this up and it was nothing but frustrating. How on earth do you keep the drippings from splattering all over the oven and burning? Smoke filled my small home and made the fire alarm sound off. This all happened long before I even reach the full first 60 minutes of cooking. Please help! I'd love to learn how to make this without smoking out my entire house. Thanks.

Very good recipe although I like to say that it's best to take the chicken out of the oven and close the oven door to baste it.
If you baste with the oven door open you're letting a lot of heat out of the oven

One thing I didn't see. You didn't wash the chicken after cutting it out of the bag. It looks okay.

I followed your instructions but when I peaked in at the 45 minute mark I was shocked to see the temp was already 180F. My chicken was just under 5 LBS but I was expecting it to be done already.
@trucknI would take the little wing meat and carcass meat and use it to make some chicken salad for a sandwich !
@CallardAndBowserI love your great recipes
@ais42me83Thank you this is my go to for my own processed chickens. I just swap out all the different spices and rubs
@surgicaltechcrafter2169looks a bit pink
@doodlecomaSo like don’t clean the chicken before cooking?
@LFGLUIGII tried this recipe today for Easter. It was awful. Ťhrowing it out.
@lindajakub624Those thighs and drumsticks didn't have seasoning on them.Chicken at room temp,no thanks!That unsafe for people with health and liow immunity issues.
@hattiem.7966Thank you. Simple works for me. And yes, please, bone broth video.
@roksannastephens4375herbs de province , plus salt and rough ground pepper is the best seasoning for chicken and turkey ion you want a traditional flavor. and it is so easy!
@AsTheWheelsTurnSuper easy, totally delicious. We added more seasoning, and massaged it into the bird. Turned out really good, crispy, browned, and juicy
@thebgbasicsLOOKS good, but inside is going to be flavourless.
@mjo750The carver gets to do what my kids called “Pickin Chicken” and that is my favorite thing to do! 😁👍👍
@gijoker1150Great video and info
@Silerlonewolf1970That bird died just for this person to severely under season it. Tragic.
@chriscunningham1545I can’t believe you did not wash that chicken before you cooked. Maybe you rinsed it off camera, I hope so. If not, that is disgusting.
@sybil5077Thank you ❤ I made my very first roasted chicken using this method and added a lemon 🍋 inside the cavity and herbs de Provence for the herbs on the chicken. It came out amazing 🤩 😅❤
@jennyt22Doing a five pound, free ranger, grain fed. Glad I have a large cast iron skillet. Thank you!!
@filmic1As a widow, I like to get a deli chicken…pull off all the meat, divide into 3-4 oz. Portions and freeze. Then I always have single servings on hand. I cook the bones, skin and juices for broth.
This recipe is a perfect substitute for deli chicken…
I wonder if cooking the chicken uncovered would make a mess in the oven?
@Altazmuthit didn't look cooked ...!!! I don't understand how Americans can't follow recipes and make food in the most crazy ways...herbs, a bit of butter, potatoes around the pan etc...difficult ???
@gerardmanfroid1860She said "nibbles" , that is a phrase I have used for years, are you married?
@steveligeikis4628I just made this for a last minute late Thanksgiving dinner. So simple yet so good. Your chicken was a big hit!
@b.felicisimo5937What temperature 🌡 do you cook the Chicken
@albuquerqueturkey1567For a single man with two left thumbs you made this so easy for me thank you so much.❤
@scottscott6794What is the benefit to tying the legs together? I didn't have the twine so could not do that.
@michellemaitino5656Never mind the chicken, I'd eat her.
@SylviaSanchez-cl2eobake at what temperature?
@JaneDoe-ql7scThank you Lisa. Love it when there is a video. Can't wait to try. Oh, the carcass recipe?
