Roast Chicken
This is such a simple dish and very economical. As you know by now, I love Costco. I purchase 3 packs of their whole chickens every six months. There are two birds in each pack weighing about 5 pounds or so. I serve this with mashed taters, corn, and some sort of bread or biscuit. A great winter dish your family will love. Be sure to pick the meat off the carcass once it cools. Use the leftover meat to make Chicken Pot Pie, Chicken Terryaki or Creamy Chicken and Noodles the next day.
Roast Chicken
Ingrediants:
1 whole chicken, giblets and neck removed (3-5 pounds)
2 cloves of garlic
1 onion cut in half
1 green onion
2 cups chicken broth
garlic powder, pepper, and onion powder to taste
Preheat oven to 350. Stuff the chicken with the cloves of garlic, green onion, then the onion cut in half to fit inside. Pour the broth in your roasting pan. Gently separate the skin on the breast meat and rub the spices in. Sprinkle more on top of the bird. Roast for about 2 hours. Let rest for 20 minutes before carving or all the tasty juices will run out on your cutting board leaving you with a dry bird.
