5 Tips for Juicy Roast Chicken

I’ve discovered a few tips along the way that create a juicy, tender and superbly flavored chicken that’s good enough to serve for Sunday supper or easy enough for a quick weeknight dinner.

Here’s a quick run down that are explained further below:

  • Perfect temp to cook chicken is 425°F 
  • Cook chicken uncovered for best results.

The best oven temperature to roast chicken. We’re roasting our chicken, not baking it. That’s why a high temperature will ensure a crispy skin that’s juicy on the inside.

TIP: Pull your chicken from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to take the chill off and ensure a more even cooking time.

1. How to tell when the chicken is done. Plan on 15-18 minutes of cooking time per pound, then add 15 minutes plus resting time.  Resting roast chicken for 15 mins before slicing is must.

2. Roast your chicken at 425°F and baste occasionally while cooking. Basting chicken with the juices from the bottom of pan often helps to make the chicken juicy.

3.Roasting chicken with skins on is important to make the chicken juicy. Roasting chicken with skins on makes it super crispy and juicy.

4)Don’t over bake the chicken , else it will get dry.

5)Marinate the chicken for best result. I usually marinate it overnight. But marinate it for 2 to 3 hours.

    I’m so confused. You say the best roasting temp is 425, yet the recipe says heat to 200. What have I missed?
