Roasted Chicken Curry Sandwich Recipe - Cooking Index
To roast a chicken, place it on a rack in a roasting pan and clip off the wings at the joints. Salt and pepper the bird inside and out, and place a lemon or lime wedge or two and a few sprigs of rosemary, thyme or sage in the cavity. Drizzle olive oil or rub butter over the skin. Roast the chicken at 450 degrees, and when you begin to hear sizzling, after about 10 minutes, reduce the heat to 350 degrees. Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of between 160 and 165 degrees (once you remove it from the oven, its temperature will rise a few more degrees before serving). Depending on the size of the chicken, roasting may take 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
