    This elderly French lady taught me a roast chicken recipe where she used stale baguette slices, rub them with a garlic clove, then stuff in the chicken and lay slices under the chicken and roast. The bread becomes like a savory bread pudding, garlicky, carmelized and delicious! A good way to use up stale crusty bread.

    I looked around the internet quite a while before finding the best way to roast chicken. I butterfly it, season it with Provence herbs, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Grill it in a cast iron on both sides and throw it in the oven at 400. I don't understand why everyone and their mom cook their chicken at 165, it's terribly under cooked imo. I put the probe in the breast and cook it to 200 personally. I also throw a piece of garlic in some paper foil to make roasted garlic for the sauce I make after.
    When the chicken in ready I strain the fat and chicken juice. I then use the chicken fat to sauté shallots in the same cast iron i cooked the chicken in, crush your roasted garlic in there. Deglaze with white wine, let reduce a bit, add chicken stock, let reduce until the liquid is almost completely gone, add lemon juice, add a bit of butter to emulsify and you got yourself an amazing sauce to go with your chicken.

    i say put some green vegetables to roast on the second shelf last 20 min of cook, and the final perfect touch...another side dish based in cold pickled veggies and or fruit- possibly made into a relish/chutney. that gives you starch-animal product- warm nutrient veg- cold fermented veg, and if the portion of chicken is smaller and the starch and veg is larger, you got a perfectly balanced and plant based meal.

    I have a similar recipe for roast chicken and potatoes. I just brine my chicken for 8-24 hours and bake it on a rack with an oven tray underneath it with all of the potatoes. This way, the potatoes get more space, are more evenly cooked and are able to take in all of the chicken juice.

    Another super important part of having the potato in the same pan (or some other root veg): it lets you roast at a high temperature without all the smoke setting off your smoke detector.
