Clean Eating Whole Roasted Chicken
Can you believe I’ve never cooked a whole chicken before? My entire life, I’ve only bought and cooked chicken breasts. I don’t really care for any other part of the chicken. So I figured, what’s the point?
Then I married a man who will eat just about anything I set in front of him, including a whole chicken.
Thankfully, he’s more than happy to leave me the parts I like while he dives into the rest of the poor bird. The scene that ensues is a carnivorous feast unlike anything I’ve seen before. It’s a good thing the poor creature is dead. And that’s all I’m gonna say about that!
I’ve been purchasing whole chickens at Whole Foods for a while, and finally decided I’d try cooking one myself to save a few dollars. And if you don’t mind me saying so, I think I did better than Whole Foods! This chicken was down right delicious!
(Vegetarians beware, this gets a little graphic for those with overly sensitive stomachs. It involves innards… and that’s all I’m gonna say about that.)
Clean Eating Whole Roasted Chicken
Ingredients:
- 1 whole chicken (any size)
- 1 large yellow onion
- 1 package baby carrots (I use organic)
- 1 bunch celery (any size)
- 2 tablespoons dried tarragon
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Place your birdie on a stable work surface.
- Reach in through the larger of the two cavities and pull out the stuff wrapped in paper. (I think it’s the giblets, but I never unwrapped the paper. It went straight in the trash).
- Prepare your veggies to your liking. They will cook down considerably, so don’t worry too much about slicing them properly. Just chop them up roughly.
- Place your veggies in a roasting pan or large baking dish. (Mine was to large. You want something that is just a bit larger than the chicken).
- In a small mixing bowl, mix your tarragon, lemon zest, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper and olive oil.
- Separate the skin from the meat by moving your fingers around under the skin. You’re not removing the skin, just separating it from the meat so you can get the spices under there.
- With your hand, rub the majority of your spice mix under the skin, covering as much of the bird as possible. Rub the remaining spice mix all over the rest of the outside of the bird.
- Place your birdie on top of your veggies and put the whole pan into the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes. Your birdie should have a nice golden glow at this point. (I would sell my knife set for a tan like that!)
- Loosely, lay a large piece of foil over the top to prevent any further browning (burning) and continue cooking until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 180 degrees F. (About 50-60 minutes in total – This will vary from oven to oven).
- Allow to cool, remove skin, carve and serve.
- Note: The veggies will soak up a lot of the fat from the chicken. I didn’t actually serve these with the meat. I saved them to put into soup which I will cool after cooking so I can skim the fat off. That way my soup gets all the flavor without the added fat!
- And one more note: If you find any blood or juices (when you cut into the meat) that indicate your bird is not cooked all the way, please… pretty please… put it back in the oven for a while and recheck the temperature. Raw chicken can give you an awfully upset tummy!

How to Care for your new baby chickens in Kake, Alaska Baby chicks are very cute and hard to withstand, but it's best to prepare for their arrival before you obtain them. Prepare first by collecting not just the right materials, yet also the appropriate understanding to care for them. Raising baby chicks is reasonably easy, you merely need to offer them with the following: A tidy and cozy habitat Plenty of food and also water Attention and love Environment Your environment could be an easy box, aquarium, feline provider, or guinea pig cage. Line it with old towels and also coverings (with no loosened strings!) to start, and after a couple of weeks use straw over paper. Keep in mind: Avoid utilizing only paper or various other sandal surfaces-- or your chicks legs can expand malformed. You additionally need something to dish out food and also water in, such as a chicken feeder and water recipe from the feed shop, or a pickle jar cover for food as well as a pet bird water dispenser from a pet dog store. Also, as the chicks get older you could introduce a perch into the habitat to obtain them trained on perching. Warmth To keep your chicks warm you should provide them with a heat source. This could be as straightforward as a 100 watt light bulb in a reflective clamp design lamp from an equipment store, or an infrared reptile warmth light bulb also function extremely well (my referral). Chicks require this warmth 24/7 up until their downy fluff is replaced with feathers (which can take up to two months). The recently hatched need a temperature between 90 and also 100 degrees, and each week this can be lowered by approximately 5 degrees or so. The heat source should get on just one side of the cage to enable chicks a range of temperature levels. The chicks are your finest thermometer- if they are hiding in the other edge of your warmth lamp, you have to reduce the temperature level. If they are smothering each various other under the heat (not simply curling up), you have to add some warmth. Housekeeping Cleanliness is vital and it keeps your chicks healthy and balanced. Make certain to alter the bed linen often as well as always supply clean food as well as water Food as well as water. Chicks expand really fast which needs plenty of clean food and water. Provide sufficient in any way times and examine typically to prevent parched and also hungry chicks. Chick food is different than adult chicken food, and also it can be found in both medicated and non-medicated varieties. Feed chick food for the initial 2 months, after that switch to a grower food (~ 17 % healthy protein) for an additional 2 months, and then to a slightly reduced protein feed or a layer feed (if you have layers). Soil Some chicks like to obtain a running start on taking filth baths, while others will not take up that activity up until they are older. If you have the space in your chick enclosure, introduce a tray of sand or dirt for them to wash in. Interest and love There are a couple of advantages to hanging out with your chicks. First off, they will certainly more than likely bond with you and not escape as adults. Second, if you examine your chicks daily as well as watch their habits, you could capture illness or other troubles earlier. Watch out for hissing, hopping, or various other harmful signs. Make certain to additionally look at their poop, as looseness of the bowels could result in matted plumes and stopped up cloaca. Finally, it is necessary to keep an eye out for social problems, such as the smallest chick obtaining badgered. Empty nest disorder So your chicks are currently completely feathered and its time for them to leave the safety of your home as well as relocate outside into a cage.
