Roasted Chicken with Vegetable

Roasted Chicken:
- string
- thym
- onion
- carrot
- celery
- butter
- water
- bell pepper



Buy a nice roaster chicken. Roasters will give you a much more juicy flavorful dinner then a fryer chicken will. I only cook for myself so I go for 4-5 pounder.
2
Season the bird with salt, pepper, and paprika. I also like to add garlic and onion powder to the bird.
3
Stuff half a lemon inside the carcass.
4
Run butter over the outside of the chicken. this will help to give it that beautiful brown skin that you want to see.
5
Place the breast side down and cook the chicken at high for 20 minutes.
6
Once the machine beeps, flip the chicken over and cook on high for another 40 minutes. If you have a pop up timer in the chicken then go by that, if not then invest in a meat thermometer and stop cooking it when the internal temperature in the breast gets to 165 degrees.
7
Let the chicken sit for 10 minutes before carving. This will let the juices settle, and make for a much more tasty and moist bird.
