Better Than Costco: My 15‑Year Perfected Oven Roasted Chicken

Описание: I’ve been perfecting this oven‑roasted chicken recipe for 15 years. I buy the five‑dollar Costco rotisserie chicken all the time because it’s affordable and convenient, but it’s not this. When whole chickens go on sale for around $1.29 a pound, I stock up on the brand I love because the quality really affects the flavor. This homemade version gives me crispy skin, juicy meat, and a comforting meal my family always looks forward to.

This recipe also carries a little family history. My mother‑in‑law made the most delicious baked chicken, and for years I tried to recreate what she did. Over time, this became my own version — the one my husband and daughter ask for again and again. When I take the time to make this, it’s my way of giving them comfort and a little love through food.

In this video, I’ll show you:
• How to get perfectly crispy skin
• The butter mixture that flavors the meat
• Why the salt‑oil paste makes a difference
• How long to roast depending on chicken size
• How to know when your chicken is done
• Why this recipe is worth making at home

Whether you make this once a week or once a month, it’s simple, comforting, and reliable. If you try it, I appreciate you.

Ingredients:
1 whole chicken (3–5 lbs)
Butter
Garlic
Salt
