Herb-Roasted Chicken

There are four keys to a golden, crisp-skinned, juicy and flavorful chicken: start with a high-quality bird, season it correctly, cook it at a high temperature for the ideal amount of time for its weight and let it rest before you carve it. Save any leftovers for making potpie or chicken soup (see related recipes at left).
