Roasted Chicken Recipe

How about an easy yet tasty chicken dinner recipe? You are in luck because I prepared a simple roasted chicken dish just for you. Although this recipe is simple, it doesn’t mean that the taste is simple too. This tastes better that the ordinary rotisserie chicken, I guarantee.

The thing that I like most about this dish other than the taste is the texture. I believe that the stuffing did a great job in providing moisture to the chicken. If you’ve been to Boston Market and tried their chicken, that pretty much is the texture that I’m talking about – tender and juicy.

I had this with some homemade mash potatoes and it was a blast. If you wish to enjoy this better, making your own KFC style gravy will do the trick.

Try this Roasted Chicken recipe and let me know your thoughts.

    Hi,

    Can you show in your video how to debone the whole chicken without cutting or bruising the skin and the meat is intact. The skeleton of the chicken must also be intact when it is taken out of the chicken’s meat. What is the best stuff/fillings of the chicken? Thank you so much and more power.

    Hello, I’m a regular follower of your website and I love your recipes. On the Roasted Chicken….my problem is my oven doesn’t have a heat meter. What will I do? Do I just heat the oven and put the chicken? Thanks and more power.

      sir bong, you may place an oven thermometer inside the oven. Temperature is extremely important for this recipe that is why we need to measure it.

    how do you loosen the skin of the chicken ?

    Reply
    • Panlasang Pinoy says

      Posted on 7/23/10 at 7:36 pm

      Johnson, try to loosen the skin from the flesh in one end by pinching the skin until it separates from the flesh. Work on it using your fingers or a skewer to slowly loosed the remaining skin. You can start on the part near the cavity opening.
