Roasted Chicken
“Roasting a whole chicken is a really great thing to know how to do! It’s pretty economical as buying a whole chicken is fairly inexpensive. You can control the flavor on it and you’re basically cooking just one time and getting three different meals out of it”, explains Chef Brandy. The ways to enjoy roasted chicken are endless from simply pairing it with a green salad to using it as a base for a hearty chicken soup!
