When I know that I don't have much prep time in a day but want to have a good hearty meal in the evening; Roasted Chicken is usually my go-to dish. It's easy and tasty!
Although, this particular chicken pictured above turned out more amazing than usual simply because the chicken was completely organic. So organic in fact that my husband and sons went to a friend's farm and killed, plucked and cleaned the chicken themselves. Best chicken ever. We knew where it came from, that it wasn't fed all kinds of weirdness nor was it injected with antibiotics or other harmful chemicals. The taste was richer and more flavorful than any store bought chicken I've ever prepared!
Don't worry. You don't need to go out and slaughter your neighbors chickens for this recipe. Any chicken will do, and the recipe still turns out great!
