So, I don't usually roast whole chickens in the oven, but in the beating the recession thread, there was a post about how versatile leftovers are and it reminded me of how much I like using leftover chicken for various things. Now, normally, I'll throw a chicken in the crockpot and be done with it, but it's too late to do that today, and as that was going to be my dinner...yeah...
So, what methods do y'all use for roasting chickens in the oven, and time/temperature wise, any thoughts?? I know the general seasonings I want to use, but I always like to talk cooking with others, and this seemed like an opportune time, in between getting my apartment cleaned.
I'm a bit paranoid about screwing it up, because I've got plans for at least 3 other things to do with the leftovers, and would appreciate any input or recipes/tips people like to throw out.
I feel kinda silly asking for help with a simple roasted chicken, but having forgotten to get out the crockpot, and not wanting to wait to where I wouldn't be eating dinner until 9 pm, there it is. I fling myself on the mercy of CSers...
And thus I leave my query up, and shall return to check back once I finish scrubbing down another part of my apartment.
