Rules for Roasting ”¢Roasting chicken at a high temperature (450°) for a
short time, then lowering the temperature for the remaining cooking time
seals in the juices and keeps the chicken moist and tender. ӢWhile you can
also roast a broiler-fryer with good results, chickens specifically for
roasting are labeled "roasting broilers." These birds generally weigh more
and are meatier and more succulent. If you are roasting a broiler-fryer
(which normally weighs approximately 3 pounds), decrease baking time by
about 45 minutes. ӢLet roasted chicken stand for 10 minutes after removing
it from the oven. This standing time "sets" the juices and makes for a more
flavorful bird. ӢRoast chicken on a rack in a broiler pan so fat can drip
off and away from the bird.
