What To Do With The Leftover Garlic Herb Roasted Chicken

The leftover Garlic Herb Butter Baked Chicken can be used to make other dishes like chicken salads, chicken bread sandwiches, omelets, and other chicken dishes of your choice.

How Long To Roast The Whole Chicken

In this garlic herb roast chicken recipe I roasted the chicken weighing 4 pounds (2 kilograms approx) at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes, and then reduced the temperature to 350 degrees and cooked for another 1 hour 15 minutes.

The basic thumb rule of roasting is that it depends on the size of the chicken, and for every pound, it needs to be cooked at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Then cook the chicken at a higher temperature to get golden brown and crispy skin.

How Will You Know That Roast Chicken Is Done

The best way to check the roast chicken is that juices should run clear when you pierce the chicken thigh. Another alternative is to use the meat thermometer, the chicken thigh when pierced with the thermometer, the internal temperature should show 165 degrees.
