I thought about that recipe for a few days then decided to go and buy a whole chicken. I didn't look up any recipe I just did what he and that was basically put a chicken in the oven at 450 degrees for an hour! Now I did wash my chicken take out the stuff in the middle, pat it dry then rubbed it with butter and seasoned it with salt and pepper. I think he might have added some herbs and etc to the middle but I wanted a plain ole chicken.
He cooked it in a skillet (that can go in oven) so I put mine in a iron skillet then put it in my oven that was preheated to 450 degrees. Like he did I basted it every 15 minutes. It seemed to go by fast maybe because every 15 minutes I was basting it.
Because you baste it when you pull it out of the oven it has this beautiful brown color! I set it out to let it rest for 10 minutes then cut in to it. Tender juicy and done!
What a great way to cook a whole chicken fast and it stay juicy and tender!
place your chicken in your skillet then rub with butter, you can dot it with butter also like I did then season it with salt and pepper.
this is either after 15 or 30 minutes when I took it out to baste it
after an hour in the oven...it's done!
This one I made on Monday in my cooking class..... it was really beautiful!
3 Tbsp butter soften
Salt and Pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 450 degrees
In a oven ready skillet place your chicken inside then rub with butter then season with salt and pepper. You can also add a few dots of butter like I did above if you would like.
Place in preheated oven then every 15 minutes take out the chicken and baste it which is just basically taking a spoon or a baster and getting the juices from the bottom to the top of the chicken. This will insure a beautiful golden brown chicken!
After an hour your chicken should be done! Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes so the juices can redistribute back into the chicken.
