So I roast chickens all the time, but no matter how I cook them, on a pan, in a roasting pan, or in a roasting pan with a rack, and I always have to end up turing the chicken over half way through to get the other side to have color.
I know people roast chickens without flipping them, but how in the world do you get the chicken to get some color on the down side?
Ive tried in a roasting pan with a V rack, and even let it cook an hour without turing, but the underside had no real color, i had to end up flipping it.
Is there a secret step Im missing?
Does everyone turn the chicken over halfway through?
And just curious but what heat do you use and how long?
Some people like to blast the bird with high heat for the first 15-20 min. then turn down the heat and slow cook for the rest of the time, others cook at the same temp the whole time. Im curious what you guys do when roasting a chicken?
Also as far a seasoning goes, I rub the chicken inside and out with olive oil, season it with salt, pepper, and herbs de provance inside and out, stuff it with lemons and maybe some mint. What about you guys, how do you season your roasting chicken?
thanks
