- If I had a dollar for every chicken I had roasted, well I’d be a penny behind Elon Musk! I remember my mother roasting chicken for the family on a Sunday. I’d walk in the house at dinner time to this amazing smell wafting through the kitchen. Even at the palace roast chicken was often on the menu, but not as often as it was when I started cooking for prince William and harry. They loved it, even asked for it to be on the menu.
Here I take the worry out of roasting a chicken at home with just a few simple steps and even fewer ingredients and share a delicious chicken gravy to compliment it.

Roast Chicken
Serves 4
1 3-4lb whole chicken (organic/air chilled)
2 TBS Kosher salt
2 TBS flour
1 cup chicken broth (more if needed)
1 pinch black pepper
serve with mashed potatoes
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Farenheit. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking.
Place the chicken on a tray and sprinkle liberally with salt all over. Place the chicken onto a wire rack over a baking sheet and place in the oven. Cook for 1 hour 15 minutes or until the internal temperature is 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the chicken from the oven and to a plate to rest.
Scrape the pan juices into a saucepan on the stove and add the flour and stir. heat the tray over the stove and add the chicken broth. Carefully stir while scraping any sediment off the bottom of the tray. once all of the sediment has been released add it all to the pan. Stir and heat. Add more chicken broth as needed to correct the consistency and season with the black pepper.
Break the chicken into four portions and serve with the chicken gravy and mashed potatoes.

Simple prep, crispy skin, and "no nasty oils." You're the best! 😍
The online and youtube chefs have to make things seem complicated or they'll lose their jobs, if it's easy why would we need them? You're a hero for demystifying a simple process. The simpler the better. But why oh why am I watching this at 2:00 AM? I'm starving!
As a Brit living in New York, I make a roast chicken for my girlfriend every weekend! Some of my American friends talk about how good a cook I must be! Not really...roasting a chicken is very easy for us!
NOTHING will ever replace the aroma and taste of a well roasted chicken! Fried chicken is pretty darn good, too! Chicken pairs well with EVERYTHING, to boot!
That’s so true!
Bacon....
Fish 'n' Chips😊
I know that's right! I can eat roasted chicken by itself.
I bet you’re black.
What a breath of fresh air! None of that pretentious bullcrap infesting almost every other YT cooking tutorial. Everything here done the 'right way'...from that fantastic gravy to easily portioning the meat using your hands (and a clean pair of cheap gloves). Remember folks, this maestro cooked for the UK Royal family!
Mentioning Elon and Markle pretty pretentious if you ask me
@@jm12green31elon seems fine just everyone else just parroting what they hear on social media 🤭
I’ve never, in my 65 years roasted a chicken at 218°C. Until just now. Absolutely amazing results!! Thank you.
I've always done it at 180°C - I'm very excited to try it at 218° 😁
Higher heat better crust juicier meat
@ it certainly does!!
yeah, seems too much but I will check it myself tomorrow
I just chuck it in the Aga, no idea what the temperature is, it comes out absolutely delicious.
You are an absolute wholesome delight! Love all of your recipes! Thank you Thank you! Thank you!
For the past 20 years I've been shoving aromats and a lemon in the cavity and putting butter between the skin for flavour but tried this and absolutely amazing. Perfectly seasoned with lots of cooks bits when you separate. Made it for the family and the kids demolished it. Gravy was spot on too
Absolutely love your channel 👍 met her majesty when I was a kid in Germany then was her security detail in 1991, when I was fleet air arm, royal navy! What a wonderful lady she was 👍 rest in peace ma'am ❤️
What a cool story! Would love to know more!
Simplicity=Perfection. That was a masterpiece. No need to spatchcock, or any of that other silly stuff. I do like my beer can, though!
OK, this is now officially my go-to recipe for roast chicken! It is marvellous! And the gravy is to die for!
Sir you are such comfort to watch . If you were food , to me … you’d be a cup of tea and scones near a fireplace ❤️
Roast chicken is one of the greatest meals in the world. So many ways to do it and this way, the simplest of all, is one of the very best.
I love "back to basics" recipes! Thank you for sharing all of these fabulous dishes with us. You are a treasure! ❤
Why did it 🔥? Dang! Love Darren, so effortless and simple yet the tastiest food you could imagine
I too want to know.
In the 19th and early 20th century, up to WWII and a bit afterward, in America, Sunday chicken dinners were a very special treat for low-income families.
8:12 “Carefully, we add some chicken broth” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’m joking of course, but that did make me laugh
Darren shows how to set yourself on fire! ;-p Yes, that made me laugh too ...
I was quite surprised by the flame! If I'd done that I would have jumped back like 'Oh No!'.
@ Me too!! :-o
What else was in the chicken broth?!
I KNOW, RIGHT!!!!
Thank you for reminding us how simple this can be.
No debate, when done properly roasted, or rotisserie on the barbecue, best meal ever.
Chef, I adore Ina too, but hands down you Win!!! Today is Saturday and I was just thinking about what was gonna star for Sunday dinner, Thank you!!! ❤️
All The Best to You and Yours for a Happy New Year!!! 🎉
How did the roasted chicken turn out ?
I'm glad I had a mother and grandmother who cooked and cooked very well, I might add, teach me. I also brought my own skills up by watching as many shows as I could find that I enjoy the person cooking. Hence why I am here 🙂
Wow Chef, this is the easiest roast chicken recipe I've seen on a youtube channel. Thank you..!!
Thank you Darren love this recipe!
Proof that great food doesn't need to be complicated
Absolutely right Darren - this is the easiest thing to cook. Can't think why people would be afraid of doing this. Happy New Year and looking forward to more recipes and stories in 2025!
I've been cooking chicken for fifty years with thermometers, scales, timers, and seeing if the juices flow clear. This is the first recipe that has worked 100 percent of the time. I've added spices, butter, oil, etc, to this recipe but it is perfect. Thank you, Chef!
Thank you . Such a gentle chef teaching. I Will do it soon
I love your stories. Thanks for this recipe.
Love that you kept it simple! That’s the way I’ve always made mine.
Thank you! Many people - not all - don't have access to simplicity, Chef. They need a warm person like you to show them. Then they feel more confident. Then results happen more cogently. They want to be happy because of you, Chef. Thank you! This was superb. I'm a Yank and I loved all of this.
Makes my mouth water !!!
Wonderful video! Looks delicious! Thank you & Happy New Year! 🎉
Love, love, love you, your cooking and your sense of humor, Darren! I cooked the chicken thighs the way you did - it came out superb, and finally I know how to cook whole chicken! Why didn’t I never thought of doing it the same way?! Other recipes never worked for me, even Inna’s. So, thank you very much!!!
Yummy 😋 Enjoyed!
I hope to buy his cookbook soon.
Thank you!!!! I've never made a roasted chicken! Ha. Now I will, thanks to you! I love chicken and mashed potatoes and chicken gravy!😊🎉😊🎉
Chef, I just had the nicest roast chicken I've ever cooked. Thanks for this gift of a recipe!
Thank you for this video. I loved roasted chicken, but never cook it myself because it looks really complicated - with all the ingredients, and special pans etc. This recipe is so simple I'm going to try to cook myself. Special thanks for the Dallas, TX mention. It was ccccoooollllddd here for a few days.
How does this channel not have over a million or even more subscribers?
Well, he takes a really long time to properly get started.
@@blackletter2591 That Is your unwanted & unnecessary opinion!!! Your Opinion is Not welcome here!!! Go elsewhere for speed and your 'instant' gratification. There is Never a Reason to be Rude!!!
Setting the chicken stock on fire was impressive Chef! I'll need to remember to braid my beard first when doing this!
😂😂😂👍🏻
I'm a Fort Worth girl! I absolutely love roasting chicken!
the first cooking video i have ever seen that has info about cleanup. thank you.
I didn't know you lived here!
The snow looked pretty nice today.
Next time I do a chicken, this is what I'm going to try!
Love the channel!
After preparing roast chicken for years in Scotland I have met my match and better. I just did a roast chicken to your exact recipe and it is and was the best roast chicken we have had in years. As the man of the house I always cook whatever meat we have. Of course my wife does everything else, but, I “did the meat” so it seems the credit goes to me. Far from the truth in our house. I am the boss and my wife said I could say so. Thanks a million Darren.
did you use the fan in the oven?
I did not use the fan this time, but, I will try it that way next time.
@@JohnEJacobson nice! I wonder if he used it or not!
So simple and yet soooo good! Thank you Chef 😋
Gonna try this out this weekend, looks delicious
Simple, easy, and amazing looks delicious
That's wonderful, chef ! Thank you ! I am going to follow your recipe to the letter. I have already written it down. Happy new year, sir, to you & your family ! From Australia.
Though I love Ina as well, this is honestly the best way that I will make a roast chicken for friends and family. :D
Darren you are the professionals professional , just love the way you present your cooking experiences .
I roast chicken fairly often in the exact same way. It is so freekin eazy!! Don't fear the whole chicken!!
Piece of cake...it's going to happen very soon...thank you for sharing this simple recipe...🙏
Simple and wonderful!
Nothing like a good roasted chicken! A lot of people don't know how to portion or carve a bird. Gotta know the anatomy!
Remove the wishbone before cooking 😉
I always struggle with the gravey. I haven’t made a whole chicken since before Covid. They aren’t are plentiful in the store any longer, I keep wondering what’s going on? It’s so weird. You’re right nothing taste better. Thank you Darren. ❤
Brexit. Britain used to import 27% of its chicken and brexit paperwork has made it too bothersome for European suppliers. Also, the paperwork to work in the U.K. has discouraged Eastern European workers so the U.K. has had a shortage of people to work in the industry. According to multiple sources including Reuters.
It's great to see you 😊❤️
I will definitely try this. Thank you for this recipe. It’s so simple. It’s also very healthy. There isn’t oil and other processed seasoning on it. Perfect. 👌
Astonishing. I loved every moment. Thank you!
Fab. I just put mine as it is in my air fryer upside down then turn right right way up . Yum.
Beauty lies in simplicity, and simplicity is the sign of perfection. Perfect roasted chicken. Thank you, Chef Darren 🎉🎉🎉
Hello Chef,
This looks Delicious. I never thought about Roast Chicken being the Cheapest Dish, but I knew it was Yummy.
Love this recipe! I will try this. Thank you!
Greetings from the U.S., Chef! I will be giving this a go after a trip to my local market.. Thank you for the recipe😊
I love how affordable your recipes are. No fuss, no muss.
Thank you chef for the simple recipe and the great information!
Looks delicious! Thank you, chef!
I will have to try roasting a chicken this way. Thanks
🎉Happy New Year to you and your family. So glad you are back on RUclips. You saw miss. I watching your cooking channel and how you explain the different meal you make.❤😊💐🥂✌️🙏🫶🙌👏👨🍳💓💗❤️. Enjoy your weekend and You're Welcome.
Funny, while watching this video I’m sitting here eating an “Ina Garten’s Skillet-Roasted Lemon Chicken” I made a couple of hours ago. 😂
I just love how simple your recipe is, Darren. Thanks so much for sharing. Making food like you and Ina makes me feel like a natural chef, and it’s helped me develop my own cooking skills. By the way, your Elon Musk joke was hilarious. The punchline caught me off guard! 😂
I'm now hungry. Thank you for sharing. Happy New year.
I made this for Sunday dinner & it was marvelous . My family loved it.
You are a fabulous chef. The two Princes as well as the family were very lucky.
That's how I roast my chicken too! Very yummy!
Better than meditation watching and listening. Thank you Darren.
I LOVE the simplicity of your roasted chicken and you can bet I will be making it just like you have!! Thank you Chef.
Looks fantastic.
pretty much the most basic way to cook a chicken, yet looks juicy delicious. good stuff
I really enjoyed this and bought 2 chickens on a 2 for 1 special. I used to stuff the skin with tarragon butter but this is more sensible. You can add those ingredients to the gravy, of course.
😊 I will be using your technique from now on! My mouth is watering just watching . Thanks Chef Darren.
Yay it’s Mr mcgrady !! Woohoo😊
Love this simple recipe! Also like to shove butter and herbs under the skin, and put onion, carrot and celery tops into the cavity. The drippings are glorious for gravy. 😁
Love this ol' reliable, thank you. ☕️
Looks amazing chef !! Happy New Year to you 🎉
People really think that roast chicken is hard? It isn't. It's easy and so satisfying. Great video!
It is! I was surprised too.
One of the best chefs on RUclips
Back to basics indeed. Perfectly simple.
I made this last night and it was great. Have leftovers we’ll eat on for rest of week. I am always intimidated by cooking whole chicken for all the reasons you give.
I haven't roasted a chicken in ages, I think I will.
You're an amazing chef, holy moly!! Excited to learn from you. ❤ What a pleasure to also listen to your stories! Thank you so much for sharing.❤
This is wonderful, I'll be making it tomorrow!
What an amazing video and delicious recipe! I have to try this chicken.
Thank you for sharing this video and the stories about the real family 🥰
Hi Darren, I'm glad that I stumbled upon your channel. You make cooking looks easier in the video than following the cookbook. Thank you, for sharing your cooking and all your stories about the royal family I enjoy listening to it.
That’s a wonderful recipe and I particularly like the story that was shared with it.
I hope Texas is treating you well. I’m a native Texan that has moved to Oklahoma.
I found this really hard to believe but then made this last night, even skipping the pyrotechnic step. It was absolutely delicious and just as easy as presented here.
Thanks for the delicious chicken roast, absolute natural!!
Great video no-nonsense great results. Thank you.
You mention the quality at the end, I think it’s the quality that makes it so amazing
That chicken looks so delicious I want to eat my phone 😂!!! I live in Houston and we are in the middle of a snowpocalypse/arctic blast. This recipe looks PERFECT after a day playing in the ❄️snow⛄️ I totally agree with you regarding the simplicity of roast chicken. Roast chicken should taste like ROAST CHICKEN, not a melange of burned herbs & spices. Roast chicken, homemade gravy, mashed potatoes & maple-bacon brussel sprouts. Thank you Mr. McGrady 🙏🏼♥️ Love your channel 🙂
Great video, will be trying this , you made it look so easy and nice, thanks very much
Love your channel and just ordered your cookbook...looks fabulous....I love fruit and cake dishes and cream, and lots of lemons
in everything. Your Royal Tea on the Sun Princess cruise line looks wonderful and I watched several videos on that. You will soon
be very rich and famous I predict...but we have all of these wonderful videos on You Tube that you have made and I thank you
and your staff for that.
That looks wonderful. So easy. That you so much. I’m going to try it.
Love this one. Takes all the fuss and intimibation away from roasting a chicken. Love!
Made this whole chicken last night for the family along with the gravy, fantastic!
Yummy! Yummy! One more ingredient, water or broth in the tray helps to make the gravy easier (won't stick on the tray).
