It is a versatile meat that is used to prepare almost any dish we can think of.

Here is a simple recipe for easy delicious roast chicken on a rack that is sure to please everyone in your family.  

Make it once and stretch it out for the rest of the week.

Ingredients:

  • One whole chicken, under 5 lbs,  fresh or frozen
  • One teaspoon of salt
  • one teaspoon of  ground black pepper
  • one teaspoon garlic powder
  • one teaspoon of onion powder
  • one teaspoon of Lowery’s seasoned salt mix
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tbsp of butter or margarine
  • One quart of water

Optional:

  • Soy sauce (probably not necessary, that is why it’s optional)
  • Cookie rack
  • Aluminum foil roasting pan ( you can get one from the Dollar Tree)
  • Paper towel roll
  • Gallon-sized freezer bag like a Ziploc or Hefty

Directions:

  • Preset your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Remove the plastic casing from your fresh or frozen whole chicken
  • Pat your chicken dry with a few sheets of paper towel
  • Rub the chicken with butter and set it aside for now
  • Mix all of the dry ingredients together in a bowl
  • Now sprinkle the dry mix all over the chicken.
  • Place the seasoned chicken inside the freezer bag and let it marinate for at least an hour before baking
  • You can squirt some soy sauce on top of the chicken inside of the freezer bag before you seal it up if you’d like.
  • If you let it marinate overnight and allow the flavors to penetrate under the chicken skin, the flavor will be even better the next day.
  • So now the fun part: Fill the aluminum foil pan about 1/3 full of water
  • Place the cookie rack, upright, inside of the aluminum foil pan over top of the water.
  • Then place your chicken on top of the cookie rack.
  • This allows the fat the drip down into the pan while allowing the meat to stay juicy yet letting the skin get crispy
  • You can use the drippings in the pan for chicken stock or chicken broth later to stretch out your meals even further.
  • Put it all in the oven and bake it for about 45 – 60 minutes depending on how big your chicken is.
  • Remember to check your chicken often with a temperature probe and make sure the juices run clear before you serve.
  • Enjoy!
