How Dads Can Whip Up Great Roasted Chicken At Home

By Jason Glover


In today's modern family, many moms and dads are working full-time jobs. Plus, in some households the mother works and the father spends more time at home with the children. This can create many situations where men need to fix a meal and it needs to be nutritious and relatively simple to prepare. Here are some examples of easy roasted chicken recipes that most men can fix without problems.

The first thing to know about roasted chicken recipes, is buying the chicken, and not all chickens are the same. If you want a meal that really tastes great, you should consider buying a whole chicken from a meat market or place known for its good meat. It costs more than bargain chicken at the local supermarket, but you will notice a difference in texture and taste.

Dads that cook need to understand the importance of preparation for roasting chickens. If you cook a frozen, cold, or wet bird, you are likely to end up with a chicken that is done is some places and raw in others, and no one wants this. To get an evenly cooked chicken, let it sit out of the fridge for thirty minutes, then dry it with paper towels. You don't need to stick the chicken underneath the kitchen faucet.

Make sure to season to taste. Also, have the oven already heated to about 400 degrees F. To prepare good tasting lemon roasted chicken, rub with pepper, salt, and garlic (if you like). Next cut up a lemon and put the slices inside your bird. Use toothpicks to keep the cavity closed and floss or twine will work for tying the legs together. When you tie the legs, the meat does not dry out.

Put your chicken in the roasting pan breast side up and every 15 or 20 minutes, remove and baste. If you don't have a baster, you can use a large spoon or perhaps a ladle. Basting keeps the chicken moist and prevents the meat from getting too dry.

Most dads cooking roasted chicken will have a limited amount of time. To save time on basting, you can visit your local grocers and buy a roasting bag. Just go to the aluminum foil section to find them. The directions are simple and will yield good results. Also, remember that cooking bags lower cooking times because the oven door stays shut, so you may need to check the bird before the allotted time.

Uncooked chicken can make you ill, so you need to test it to be sure it is done. The most effective way is to use a meat thermometer. Stick the thermometer in the thigh meat and it should be at least 170 degrees. If not, place it back in the oven for a few more minutes. Once done, let it sit for about 15 minutes before serving.
