The ABSOLUTE best way to roast a whole chicken!

On today's show we are going roast a whole chicken, along with a full meal. I am going to discuss two very important techniques in cooking a chicken: doing a proper dry brine and the drying of the skin. I let the skin dry in my fridge for 72 hours, but if you don't have that type of time you can still do it for 6 hours. I recommend planning ahead on this one, it will be so worth it.Show more

I am also going to make mashed potatoes and saute vegetables tossed in a vinaigrette.

Enjoy
