CHICKEN, ROASTED, Julia Child's Classic Roast Chicken, HOW TO, TIPS, see notes for good chicken roasting tips
nomnompaleo.com/post/26079656034/julia-childs-classic-roa...

In celebration of Julia Child’s incredible culinary legacy, this week’s JC100 recipe is the classic roast chicken from Julia’s Kitchen Wisdom. Her techniques and tips for roasting a bird are simple and straightforward, and produce a bird with crispy skin and juicy, succulent meat. Even if – like me – you’re too lazy to baste as often as she recommends, the chicken will taste wonderful. Just make sure to follow this guide for cooking time: 45 minutes + 7 minutes per pound [e.g. 4-pound chicken = 45 + 7(4) = 73 minutes]. Also: Use LOTS of butter.
Ingredients
  • 2 whole chickens, 4 pounds each
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • 1 large lemon, thinly sliced
  • 2 small onions, peeled and trimmed
  • 1 bunch of fresh thyme
  • 4 tablespoons of softened butter
  • 1 cup of chopped carrots
  • 1 cup of chopped yams
  • ½ cup of chopped onions
