Perfect Roast Chicken

1 (5 to 6 pound) roasting chicken
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 large bunch fresh thyme, plus 20 sprigs
1 lemon, halved
1 head garlic, cut in half crosswise
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter, melted
1 large yellow onion, thickly sliced
4 carrots cut into 2-inch chunks
1 bulb of fennel, tops removed, and cut into wedges (optional)
Olive oil

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F!.
Remove the chicken giblets!. Rinse the chicken inside and out!. Remove any excess fat and leftover pin feathers and pat the outside dry!. Liberally salt and pepper the inside of the chicken!. Stuff the cavity with the bunch of thyme, both halves of lemon, and all the garlic!. Brush the outside of the chicken with the butter and sprinkle again with salt and pepper!. Tie the legs together with kitchen string and tuck the wing tips under the body of the chicken!. Place the onions, carrots, and fennel in a roasting pan!. Toss with salt, pepper, 20 sprigs of thyme, and olive oil!. Spread around the bottom of the roasting pan and place the chicken on top!.

Roast the chicken for 1 1/2 hours, or until the juices run clear when you cut between a leg and thigh!. Remove the chicken and vegetables to a platter and cover with aluminum foil for about 20 minutes!. Slice the chicken onto a platter and serve it with the vegetables!.

It really dose depend on the size of the chicken but if you want to make it really juicy and tasty wait untill its brown and crisp!. Then wrap it up in foil and keep it on a low heat eg 120C untill you are ready to serve!.!. ;) thats how i do it and it never fails!.!.Happy eating!Www@FoodAQ@Com

20 minutes per pound + another 20 minutes!.

So for a 5 pound chicken that would be 5x20 + 20 = 120 minutesWww@FoodAQ@Com

20 minutes per pound and 20 mins on top!. You might like to uncover it and baste of the last 20 mins to brown and crisp the skin!.

Good luckWww@FoodAQ@Com

I normally just cook untll the legs look as if they are ready to drop off and a fork will pierce the breast quite easily!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I leave mine till you can pull out a leg bone easily or it falls off the bones!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Depends how big the chicken is!. if its normal size cook it for 2hours covered with tin foil then remove the tin Foil for the last 45minWww@FoodAQ@Com

As a general rule for most meats 2 answers are correct!. That's 20mins per pound plus 20mins extra!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Until Eat o' Chuck! :D
