Lindsay is a dear friend and she turned me on to it! Congrats on spreading the wellness word!! How do you keep it from burning the skin. Do you put foil on it for a certain amount of time in the beginning or the end. Mine was burning in about 10 minutes. Hi Shelly. The oven is only at so the skin never burns. And when you sear it in the pan it is flesh side down so no worries there. I have never had a problem with burning.

I love your writing style- makes it so fun to read. And I am totally one of those people that is intimidated by any chunk of meat larger than a steak or pork chop. This is exactly what I need. And PS its a good freakin thing I dont have to take close ups of my oven like that!! Fabulously helpful tips! This is a fantastic post on how to roast a chicken, great tips and what beautifully and perfectly roasted birds you have here.

Do they not drain the birds like they used to? How do I get rid of it? But , I never had to do that years ago. It was kind of you to reply. Thanks, anyway. I used to make roasts all the time, but, having the gravy ruined turned me off. It seems like they still have blood in them. In fact, NONE of the chicken is like it used to be, sadly. Stringy fibers, added water, etc. Sad because I used to love chicken. I think they are rushing things, and it shows in the quality. I blame the big companies.

Maybe you can find a local organic farmer that will sell you chicken straight from the farm? Good luck:. Hi there. I want to know when to use the taller or the shorter rack when roasting chicken in the convection microwave oven. Google is always a friend in these situations! Usually when we roast, we use higher temperatures than when we bake, and while roasting can be done in an oven, it can also be done over an open flame. When referring to treats like cupcakes, cakes, pies, etc we exclusively use the word bake.

Hope that helps:. Appreciate all the ideas and step-by-step. Your roasted chickens are very inspiring! I am sincerely going to learn how to make a super juicy tasty chicken with your help!

It should fit relatively snuggly in the pan; this helps prevent the onions from burning or drying out. Generously salt the bird all over, using more salt than you think you need. Place the bird breast-side down on the onions this way, the juices run into the breast as the chicken cooks, making it juicier.

Turn the temperature up to about degrees and remove the top.
