Amanda Frederickson's video: The Perfect Roast Chicken Recipe

How to make the perfect roast chicken! This is one of my favorite recipes, especially to serve at a dinner party. It is inspired from the famous roast chicken from the San Francisco restaurant Zuni Cafe and is one of the easiest and most delicious recipes out there. **************************************************** The Perfect Roast Chicken 1 whole chicken, about 3 to 4lbs, rinsed and patted dry kosher salt 2 to 3 stalks of thyme or rosemary Liberally sprinkle the chicken with salt. About 3/4 tsp per pound of chicken. Using your finger, separate the skin of the chicken and the meat of the chicken breast. Place a piece of herbs under the skin. Let the chicken rest in the refrigerator for 24 hours, preferably uncovered or covered with parchment paper or wax paper (avoid tin foil) When ready to eat pre-heat the oven to 425°F. Roast the chicken for about 1 hour or until a meat thermometer registers 165°F when inserted between the thigh and breast of the chicken. Let the chicken rest for 30 minutes before serving. Serves 4. ********************************************* ABOUT THIS CHANNEL: Amanda Frederickson is a professional cook and food stylist.
