Ridiculously Simple Roast Chicken
Description
This recipe for the best roasted chicken seasoned with kosher salt and lemon is so easy it's stupid. And delicious of course.
Ingredients
•
1 (4 pound) whole chicken, rinsed
•
1 lemon, halved
•
kosher salt
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2
Place chicken into a roasting pan and insert lemon halves into the cavity; spread kosher salt over the outside of the chicken.
3
Roast in the preheated oven until skin is browned and crisp, the juices run clear, and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh, not touching bone, reads 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), about 1 hour. Let chicken rest for 15 minutes before carving.
