Roast Chicken – Fabulous with Minimal Effort

Step-by-step method

Let’s cook

At a glance

You're getting a restaurant-quality roast chicken with crispy skin and juicy meat, plus a bonus pan gravy—and it's easier than you'd think. After prepping the bird (washing, drying, tying, and seasoning), most of the work happens in the oven where it roasts hands-free for about two hours. The key trick is starting hot to get that golden crust, then dropping the heat to let it cook through gently.

  1. 1/7

    Wash, dry and tie the legs

    Wash a nice fresh chicken, pat it thoroughly dry and tie its legs together. If you want to go all out, stuff the chicken with a tasty filling. If you'd rather skip the extra effort and just enjoy the meal, simply tie the legs.

    Trim the wing tips

    Cut the two end sections off the chicken wings. You'll need to bend the wing at the joint to break it, then cut it off. What's left sticking out is just the last wing section closest to the body.
