Try roasting the chicken at a higher temperature in the beginning!.!. 400-450 degrees!.!.For 15-30 minutes depending on the size of chicken!.!.!. You can then "tent" the top with aluminum foil so it doesn't overcook and dry out!.!.!.!. So, the skin on the outside gets crispy and NOT greasy!.!.!. It also seals in the juices!.!.!. also, let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes after roasting so the juices can redistribute!.!.!.!. That might help you!.!.!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
Using a higher-quality chicken!? There's a great tree-hugger store near me that gets all their meats from local farmers - I've never had a problem with their poultry (chicken or turkey) tasting greasy!. Maybe you could give that a try!?
Do you roast it covered or uncovered or both!? You could try uncovered to brown and crisp up the skin a bit, at least for the last few minutes!.
also, how do you season it!? I usually tuck a couple pats of butter under the skin with a little fresh squashed garlic, then I rub it with whatever other herbs and/or spices float my boat at the moment (as well as stuffing it with celery and onions)!. The chicken (or turkey) always comes out tender, juicy, and full of flavor!.
Finally, I've read great things and have known quite a few people who LOVE chicken grilled with a beer up the cavity!. I've never tried it myself, but it's on the agenda!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

wash the chicken, inside and out under cool running water, dab dry with kitchen towel, crumble half an oxo cube on the skin of the chicken, then place the other half inside the chicken, along with a little boiled water, wrap in cling film and cook until 20 mins befire cooked, remove the cling film and cook for the last 20 mins Www@FoodAQ@Com
Roll a lemon on the table top to soften it up, prick it a few times with a fork and put it in the cavity of the bird with some fresh rosemary, when the bird is cooked, squeeze whatever juice is left in the lemon over the meat!.
