A member favorite! If you have not roasted a whole chicken, now is the time. You will be so proud of yourself!

I hope you have watched the four-part series Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat on Netflix. It stars cookbook author Samin Nosrat in a completely relatable and interesting take on the four most important pillars of making good food. Her book is definitely one of my top five cookbooks ever, and the series will leave you even more charmed.

Samin made this on the show and I figured I needed to give it a try. I buy the whole, organic, brined chicken from Trader Joe's (sometimes this is not available, and the non-brined is fine too). I made this twice last week and the TJ’s chicken was better than Whole Foods, should that matter to you.

I tucked some vegetables around the bottom so we could make a bit more of a meal out of things. Serve it with toasted bread and dressed greens, to round things out if you’d like.
