When you want a little elegance at dinner without all the fuss, this easy roasted chicken is a simple recipe for a Sunday dinner or any day of the week.
When making this recipe, be sure that the oven is at the correct temperature before you the chicken goes in. It is important to just leave it alone and let it roast.
I boil up some baby red potatoes and then add butter, salt, and pepper, for the perfect side dish and sprinkle some dried parsley on the chicken and potatoes for a splash of color right before serving. Easy and delicious.
I like to make this chicken for dinner one day and then use the leftover chicken for chicken salad. I will freeze the carcass for later or use it to make chicken stock or soup.
