"I love roasted chicken. My wife enjoys the thighs and legs, I enjoy the chicken breast, and we can happily dine on a chicken dinner with all the trimmings and a bottle of Chardonnay. Overcook a chicken and the white meat will be dry and tough, but cook the bird perfectly and you’ll have an easy meal on the table in a little over an hour.

You see, while low and slow will work for red meats or smoking poultry, if you really want that crispy skin on the outside, you need heat. Heat is your friend. You also want to make sure you’re using the very best ingredients. My great-grandmother’s spice blend, and a delicious organic chicken from my friends at KOL Foods. 

As well as the health and nutrition benefits to eating KOL Foods meat, the flavor of their product can not be compared to any other kosher meat, fish or chicken that I have cooked with. They are the only company in the US offering exclusively grass fed kosher beef (competitors will finish their beef on a diet of corn) and everything they do, they do with the utmost care and attention." - This American Bite 

Ingredients: 

• One whole chicken (2-3lb)
• Garlic powder
• Paprika
• White Pepper
• Kosher Salt
• One onion, no bigger than a tennis ball
• One or two heads of garlic
• Your favorite root vegetable (parsnips, carrots or potatoes are great choices)

Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees

Make my traditional spice rub by combining 2 teaspoons each of garlic powder and paprika mixed with one teaspoon of white pepper and half a teaspoon of salt.

Pat down the outside of the chicken with a paper towel so that it is dry.
