Roast chicken is a timeless and versatile dish enjoyed worldwide, known for its crispy golden skin and tender, flavorful meat. This simple yet satisfying meal is made by roasting a whole chicken in the oven, often seasoned with herbs like rosemary, thyme, and garlic, and sometimes basted with butter or olive oil to enhance its richness. Variations of roast chicken can include stuffing or marinating the bird, creating endless possibilities for flavor combinations. The cooking process caramelizes the skin while keeping the meat moist, resulting in a dish that is both hearty and comforting. Whether served with roasted vegetables, potatoes, or a side of gravy, roast chicken is a staple in many households and represents a perfect blend of flavor, nutrition, and tradition.
