​How to Roast a Chicken: A Perfect Roasted Chicken Recipe, Step By Step

Roast chicken may seem like an impossibly difficult thing to cook, but honestly, it’s one of the easiest meals ever. Just a few steps and then pop it in the oven. That’s it!

Keeping things clean is the most important part of cooking chicken. Be sure to work on a plastic cutting board that can be cleaned with hot water and disinfect any areas or tools that come in contact with raw chicken. Now wash your hands. No, really, wash them again, before and after you touch raw chicken. Note: You’ll need a meat thermometer and a 13x9-inch roasting pan with sides at least 1 inch high.
