With a little preparation, a roast chicken offers great rewards. Our Classic Roast Chicken and four variations are recipes worthy of a feast—even if it’s a Thursday night.

Whole chickens abound in most meat community-supported agriculture (CSA) subscriptions and are available at your local farmers market. Our recipes will work well on a bird that has lived a good life and may not be as fatty as a typical grocery store bird.

An added bonus: Roasting a whole bird means leftovers! Use meat for making salads or sandwiches or toss the bones in a stockpot and make your own homemade chicken stock.
