I like to stuff the cavity with sliced onion, quartered lemons and
rosemary. I mix butter with some salt, pepper, rosemary, whatever
seasonings I feel like that day, the push most of it under the skin,
then rub the rest all over. I roast at 450 until the thermometer hits
170, then take it out and tent it ...it'll hit 180 soon on its own.

Can you tell us what you have available to cook it with?

If all you have is the chicken put it in an oven proof pan with a cup of
water and set the oven for 350 degrees, cook for 1/2 hour - 1 hour
depending on size of bird, basting often after the first 15 minutes or so.

Rubbing with butter, salt, pepper and mashed garlic before roasting is a
nice touch. As would be using any herbs and/or spices you might have on
hand.

Can you handle a stuffing?

THere are all sorts, though this time of year your question gives me an
excellent excuse to repost my sage and onion stuffing recipe

You can also braise, boil or simmer a whole chicken. And when done,
remove desirable meats and serve with what ever else you have.

I have no idea what you have on hand to cook with, but a great whole
chicken is cooked on a vertical roaster. Season the skin any way you
like and put it in a hot oven. Roast until the skin is crispy and
brown - 45-60 minutes. Start off with half an inch of water in the
pan. I usually put the neck, giblets, carrot, onion and celery (or
some vegetable broth) in the water. Drippings go into that and you'll
get a head start on making your gravy while keeping the smoke factor
to a bare minimum.

High heat, salt and pepper, half an onion in the cavity. Lemon and
thyme or rosemary, if you like.

Stuffing herbs and lemon slices under the skin over the breast and
thighs always works well. :-) Basil, tarragon or rosemary are some of my
favorites. Some chop the herbs and mix them with butter and let it
harden, then start with stuffing the herbed butter under the skin.

I'm considering trying that with this year's turkey...

Maybe with just a bit of fresh sage.

Hey I like that one! I'd have to modify the marinade a bit tho' as I've
never seen that Kikkoman product around here, but I often use their
light soy sauce. ;-)

There are a million and one things one can do with a whole chicken... ;-d

I'm currently roasting one in a Dutch oven, following Dorie Greenspan's
"Chicken for lazy people" recipe. (Actually, "Roast Chicken for Les
Paresseux.") You put a thick slice of bread or two slices of baguette
into a pot, stuff some garlic and herbs inside the salted/peppered
chicken, then roast it for 90 minutes. I'll let you know how it turns
out, but several people in the French Fridays group I'm in have done it
and raved about it already.

And now I remember, so did everyone else at the party..... I'll have to
make it again sometime.

I think it's basically soy and roasted garlic anyways, so would be easy
enough to 'translate'.

All I remember is that the meat is soooooooo succulent and tender, and not
to mention juicy :-)

I do that with my turkey every year. It works. My grandfather, who
would never eat turkey because it's dry and flavorless, after trying
mine would only eat mine. Makes good gravy too.

If you have more than a day you could go for Coq au Vin. I've done a
crock pot version rather than the one in the Julia Child book.

If you have more than two days you might even try to see how far you can
push a chicken towards a Peking Duck recipe. I've done that with a duck
once in my life to say I've done it. Gigantic effort, awesome meal.

I like the beer can stand up style that was already mentioned in another
post.

Hi Jimmy, I take a whole chicken and put the following under the skin,
abt 2 tsps in the 8 spots I open. I put my finger between the skin and
meat and wiggle it enuff to separate and do it on each sides of the
middle where the skin is firmly attached, on both ends of the bird,
top & bottom, then slather the last bit all over the outside of the
bird then roast at 350 for about an hour and a quarter.
Basil
Balsamic vinegar
sugar
salt
pepper
a little cayenne
a lot of garlic powder

Mix up in a bowl and spoon under the skin. Skin gets nice and crunchy,
and good brown color.Good Luck, Nan in De.

Hey, have you ever tried a dutch oven? :-)
They do have their uses!

And chicken works in one if you get the timing right.
