Instructions:
Step | Description |
---|---|
1 | Wash and dry the chicken thoroughly. |
2 | Pour olive oil onto one hand and coat the entire chicken with it. |
3 | Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. |
4 | Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). |
5 | Place the chicken in a roasting pan. |
6 | Cut the celery into half-inch chunks and slice the apple into eighths. |
7 | Stuff half of the celery and half of the apple pieces into the cavity of the chicken. |
8 | Arrange the remaining celery and apple pieces around the chicken in the roasting pan. |
9 | Slice the garlic cloves into thin slivers. |
10 | Gently lift the skin of the chicken and insert half of the garlic slivers underneath, distributing them evenly. |
11 | Scatter the remaining garlic slivers either on top of the chicken skin or around the chicken in the roasting pan. |
12 | If desired, add a few sprigs of fresh rosemary in and around the chicken for added flavor. |
13 | Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven and roast the chicken. |
14 | Baste the chicken with the pan juices every 30 minutes or so to ensure it stays moist and flavorful. |
15 | Roast the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F (75°C) in the thickest part of the thigh, and the juices run clear. This typically takes between 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the size of the chicken. |
16 | Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. |
17 | Carve the chicken into serving pieces and serve hot, accompanied by your favorite side dishes. |
Enjoy your delicious homemade roast chicken! 🍗
