Ranch Recipe
Cast Iron Roast Chicken
Ingredients
- 1 Bell&Evans Whole Chicken, about 4 lbs
- 2 tbsp butter, softened
- 1 lemon, halved
- 1 head garlic, halved
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 tbsp coarse salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
Method
- Salt the bird all over and leave it uncovered in the fridge overnight if you can. Dry skin is crisp skin.
- Take it out an hour before cooking and heat the oven to 425 degrees with the cast iron inside.
- Rub the butter over the skin and stuff the cavity with the lemon, garlic and thyme.
- Tie the legs together and tuck the wing tips behind the shoulders.
- Set it breast up in the hot skillet and roast 50 to 60 minutes.
- Pull at 160 in the breast and 175 in the thigh.
- Rest 15 minutes before carving. Pour the pan juice over the top.
Ranch tip: Starting it in a skillet that is already screaming hot sets the bottom skin immediately, so you never get that pale soggy underside.

What to Expect:
