👩‍🍳 Instructions (The AI's Game Plan)

🎯 Follow along with our AI chef's step-by-step adventure. Results may vary wildly!

1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

⏱️ 10 min (ish) 🌡️ 400°F

AI Wisdom: Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the chicken.
2

Remove any giblets from the chicken cavity. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.

⏱️ 5 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Dry skin helps achieve a crispy texture.
3

Rub the chicken with olive oil, then season generously with salt and pepper, including inside the cavity. Stuff the cavity with garlic, lemon halves, and fresh herbs.

⏱️ 10 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Seasoning inside the cavity enhances flavor.
4

Tie the chicken legs together with kitchen twine. Tuck the wingtips under the body of the chicken.

⏱️ 3 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Tying helps the chicken cook evenly.
5

Place the chicken in a roasting pan breast side up. Arrange quartered onions around the chicken, if using.

⏱️ 5 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Onions add flavor to the drippings for gravy.
6

Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for about 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.

⏱️ 60 min (ish) 🌡️ 400°F

AI Wisdom: Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
7

Let the chicken rest for 15 minutes before carving. Serve with pan juices and roasted onions.

⏱️ 15 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Resting allows the juices to redistribute for juicier meat.
