Often when people receive a whole chicken from their local farmer or one they raised themselves, it can be intimidating to know where to start. For those of us transitioning from purchasing chicken breasts packaged in plastic at the store, it can feel like a big jump. One of the best options is to roast it whole. It’s simple and easy to do, and will help you make the most of the whole bird. 

One of the biggest challenges people face is overcooking and drying out the chicken. In this video we cover some essential techniques to help you get a moist, flavorful bird every time!
