This is a really good, really easy roasted chicken recipe. I roast one almost every Sunday to use in different ways throughout the week, because if I’ve got some cooked chicken, I can turn almost anything into a meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 (4½-pound / 2-kg) whole chicken
  • 3 tablespoons

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Remove chicken from packaging and pat very dry with paper towels.
  2. Drizzle a 10-inch (25-cm) cast-iron skillet with 2 tablespoons of the oil. Drizzle chicken evenly with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, being sure to rub oil on
