Roasted Chicken

Very, very easy and totally comforting. It will impress your friends.

First buy a chicken.

Heat the oven to 425 degrees

Rinse it with cold water and pat it dry. (first take off the wrap)
Some people stick all kinds of crap in the cavity. Like half lemon or orange,
some thyme sprigs or maybe some celery with the leaves on it.
I think that’s only useful if you’re making gravey. It will give it some extra flavor.
I do it down and dirty. An empty vaccum cavity.

Okay, take that bird and put some olive oil or whatever oil you have handy on it
(not motor oil).
Oil that baby good. Don’t worry you can wash your hands later.
Now sprinkle season salt all over it.
If you don’t have season salt, use some salt, pepper, garlic power and paprika.
Or...whatever spice you like.
Now put the bird on a rack in a roasting pan.
You don’t have a rack...don’t use one.

Stick it in the oven for 75 minutes.
If you like you can baste it with the juices that fill the pan or a little more oil.

It will come out perfect. Non of those bloody joints.

Serve it with some rice and a vegetable. Enjoy!!!!
