Chicken Roast Done Right

I pick up chickens at Walmart, they are usually $.67 per pound and are generally 3 -5 pounds. To roast them do the following:

Wash the bird inside and out, salt and pepper inside and out. I also sprinkle Tyme on the bird inside and out. Stuff the bird with Parsley and place in an open roasting pan. If you cover the pan, you will steam the bird, which is not what you want.

Mix together 1/4 cup Olive Oil and 1/4 cup Lemon Juice and pour over bird, being sure that the bird is well covered with olive oil and lemon juice. Place in an 350 degree Fahrenheit oven and roast 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours. I like to get the bird a bit on the well done side, rather than on the under done side. This way the skin will be dark and crispy and the herbs will have flavored the meat.

Enjoy.
