Notes
Make sure you baste the chicken every 10 mins to keep the roast chicken moist and juicy.
Be generous with the butter, it adds so much flavor and moistness.
Season with chicken with salt and pepper generously.
Never over cook the chicken else it will turn rubbery and dry.
Allow to rest the chicken for 15 minutes before carving.

Roast chicken can be stored in fridge for up to a week and can be used in different recipes.
