Perfect Roasted Chicken: 5 Tips
1. Dry the Chicken:
Take a paper towel and carefully and thoroughly pat the chicken to make it dry and to get the moistures out. But beware do not wash the chicken, or you are risking the bacteria spread into the chicken. Patting the chicken dry makes it soggy, making the chicken perfect to be roasted.
2. Seasoning:
Here you don't have to worry about the seasonings. For the roasting, you can add as much flavor possible to enhance the taste. If you are using salt and pepper and other seasonings, try lemon and cinnamon powder to make the chicken crispier as you say. You can also use dried herbs but I prefer using only some dried basil as for me nothing tasted better than a roasted chicken seasoned with dried basil. But, about the herbs and seasonings, you can add or skip any you want.
3. Roasting Time!
Now take out a roasting pan and also use a rack for roasting the chicken. This is because it will help the chicken to get thoroughly cooked in the juices that it releases. It cooks the chicken evenly and moreover makes the chicken crispy as well so you know how it should be roasted.
4. Temperature:
Always try to cook the chicken over medium-high heat. It is perfect for preparing a roasted chicken. You can also use a thermometer to check the temperature or when roasting in an oven. Ensure the temperature to be approximately 350 degrees F.
5. It takes some time:
Usually, it takes time for the chicken to get roasted and to become tender from its own juices so wait.
Conclusion:
As I told you cooking roasted chicken is not hard at all. Following a few techniques will serve you one of the classic recipes you ever knew.
