My favorite simple roast chicken from Epicurious by Thomas Keller

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    This is definitely easier than the Zuni Cafe chicken, and needs less preparation. Also the skin stays whole which I liked. I had the feeling it was a bit drier, but that may be because I forgot to serve butter with it. So, this recipe stays, but Zuni Cafe isn't out. And I may try this one with presalting.

    This has become the only recipe I use to roast a whole chicken. Scrumptious. It turns out perfect every time and much better than rotosserie available at grocery stores. I usually buy a larger size than suggested ( 4-5 pounds instead of 2-3 pounds for two people) so I have enough leftover chicken to make a lunch sandwich and dinner chicken salad or a chicken-based soup or paella the next day.

    Out of this world delicious. Be careful with splattering grease in the very hot oven.
