Roasting a chicken in the oven is one of the easiest things to do. A lot of you probably already know how to do this. Way back when, we did have to figure it out when we started to really cook meals from whole foods. We figured it was just us, but we have found that a lot of folks actually don't know how to roast a whole chicken in the oven.
You will need a roasting pan for this recipe. We use a ceramic coated type roasting pan. The roasting pan is important to the cooking time. We tried this in a covered stock pan once and it took twice as long. Somehow the geometry of the roasting pan is important.
> Pre-heat the oven to 350F.
> Place a wire rack on the bottom of the roasting pan.
> Add a little bit of water (about a cup, give or take) in the bottom of the roasting pan.
> Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper or any of the many commonly available rubs.
> Place the chicken in the roasting pan.
> Add potatoes and carrots - as many or little as you want. Feel free to try other vegatables. Sprinkle veggies w/ the same rub as used on the chicken.
> Place the covered roasting pan in the pre-heated oven and cook for 1 to 1-1/2 hours our until the internal temperature is 165F.
