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!

North Dakota Baby chicks are extremely
cute and also
hard to stand up to,
however it's ideal to plan for their
arrival before you obtain them. Prepare initially
by gathering not just the
correct products, yet
additionally the proper
understanding to take care of
them. Raising baby chicks is relatively
straightforward, you merely should provide them with the following: A
clean and warm and comfortable
habitat Plenty of food as well
as water Interest as well as
love Environment Your environment can be a straightforward box, fish tank,
feline carrier, or guinea
porker cage. Line it with old towels as well as
blankets (with no loosened
strings!) to start, as well as after a
couple of weeks make use of straw over paper.
Keep in mind: Avoid making use of only
newspaper or various other sandal
surfaces-- or your chicks legs could grow
malformed. You likewise require
something to dish out food as well as
water in, such as a chicken feeder as well as water
recipe from the feed shop, or a pickle container
cover for food and also an animal bird water dispenser from a family pet shop. Likewise, as the chicks grow older you can present a perch
right into the habitat to obtain them
trained on setting down. Heat To
keep your chicks heat you need to
give them with a warmth source.
This could be as easy as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp style light from a
hardware store, or an infrared reptile warmth
light bulb additionally work effectively (my
suggestion). Chicks require this
warmth 24/7 until their downy fluff is
replaced with feathers (which could occupy to 2 months). The freshly
hatched out need a temperature
between 90 as well as 100 degrees,
and also each week this could
be minimized by
about 5 degrees approximately. The heat resource must get on merely one side of the cage
to permit chicks a variety of
temperatures. The chicks are your best
thermometer- if they are hiding in the
opposite corner of your heat
light, you have to
reduce the temperature. If
they are smothering each other under the
warmth (not simply snuggling),
you should include some warmth.
House cleaning
Sanitation is crucial as
well as it maintains your chicks healthy and
balanced. Make certain to transform
the bed linens
commonly and also
consistently provide tidy
food and water Food and also water.
Chicks expand quite quick
which calls for a lot of tidy
food and water. Offer
sufficient whatsoever times as well
as inspect
frequently to
stop parched and
starving chicks. Chick food is different than adult chicken food, as well as it comes
in both medicated and
also non-medicated selections. Feed chick food for the
initial two months, after that
switch to a grower food (~ 17 %
protein) for another 2 months,
and afterwards to a slightly
lower healthy protein feed or a level feed
(if you have layers). Soil Some chicks prefer to get a head start on taking
filth bathrooms, while others will not occupy that activity till they are
older. If you have the area in your chick
enclosure, present a tray of sand or
dust for them to wash in.
Focus as well as love There are a
few benefits to spending quality time with your chicks. Firstly, they will certainly more than likely bond with you as well as
not flee as grownups. Second, if you
analyze your chicks daily and
view their actions, you can
catch ailment or various
other issues earlier. Keep an
eye out for wheezing, hopping, or
other harmful
indications. Make certain to
additionally look at
their poop, as diarrhea could cause matted plumes and clogged up cloaca.
Lastly, it is important to keep an eye out for social concerns, such as the
tiniest chick getting picked
on. Vacant nest syndrome So your
chicks are currently completely feathery
and its time for them to leave the
safety of your home
and also move outside right into a cage. Have a look at our
part on chicken coops for more information
concerning cages as well as
proper coop environments.
