Roast Chicken Recipe

Roasting a chicken sounds like a daunting task but it really takes less effort than you might imagine. Most people cringe at the thought of roasting a whole chicken but the process is rather simple. When you serve a roast chicken to your guests, they will assume you spent the entire day in the kitchen. You will know that using the roast chicken recipe below is an easy process that serves up delicious and appealing results.

Ingredients

• 1 Pasture- or Meadow-raised Chicken (Preferably Fresh)
• 1 Bunch Organic Parsley
• 1 Bunch Organic Rosemary
• 1 Bunch Organic Chives
• 1 Bulb Organic Garlic
• 1/4 Cup Ghee from Grass-fed Cows
• Coarse Celtic Sea Salt
• Fresh Ground Organic Pepper

Method

1. Take half of each bunch of fresh herbs and chop them finely-discarding the tough stems when you can. Additionally, divide the bulb of garlic in half. Reserve half of the cloves for stuffing inside the chicken, then peel and slice the other half of the cloves as thinly as possible.


2. Mix the herbs and garlic thoroughly with the ghee. Just as it's critical to purchase pasture-fed poultry, it is also critical to purchase ghee from grass-fed cows as it is rich in nutrients-particularly vitamin A.


3. Loosen the skin of the chicken breast by running a butter knife between the skin and the flesh of the bird. When the skin is sufficiently loose, spread some of the herb mixture between the skin of the breast and its flesh. Now, take the remaining mixture and spread it on the skin of the bird-everywhere you can.


4. Stuff the remaining garlic inside the cavity of the chicken, and then sprinkle the bird with coarse Celtic sea salt. Be liberally generous with the salt.


5. Next, stick the chicken in the oven at 300º F for two hours, then raise the temperature to 425º and continue to roast the chicken for 20 minutes or until the skin is golden brown.


6. Garnish the chicken with the remaining fresh herbs and serve it in all its yumminess.
