A simple roast chicken recipe, especially a herb roasted chicken, is all you need for a tasty Sunday supper or low carb meal prep for the week.

Every cook should learn how to roast a chicken. A simple roast chicken is one of life?s pleasures. I live in Southern California where we grill almost year round, but nothing beats roasting a whole chicken in the oven for a Sunday supper or a start on the week?s meal prep. And since my family is small, we often roast a large chicken instead of turkey for Thanksgiving. This means less leftovers and less cleanup.
How To Roast Chicken In The Oven

Lining the pan with a piece of aluminum foil makes for an easy clean-up. But, it?s just as easy to roast a chicken in a large cast iron skillet, a Dutch oven, a small roaster, or a glass baking dish.
I roasted my chicken in a beautiful Doveware covered casserole sent to me by Aroma Housewares. Not only is it gorgeous, but it can be used on the stove as well as the oven, making it versatile. It?s much lighter than a cast iron piece of similar size and the cover makes it the perfect dish for braising larger cuts of meat. Aroma also sent me a ceramic Dutch oven and Tagine that I can?t wait to share. I LOVE them.
