This was such a great post. I have slipped herbs under the skin and I am delighted to learn about using sliced lemons. My mother always puts chopped apples and oranges(or anything that's in her fridge) in the cavity, along with a lemon).
There's so much versatility with roasted chicken, after you know the basics. This is just beautiful.

Thanks for all of the comments.

Alyss - For knowing so much about the giblets, I can't believe that you are afraid to roast a chicken.

Don't throw those giblets away! The neck (you know what that looks like), the heart (looks like a red marble with a tubey thing on it) and gizzard (a grey marble thingy that is hard and solid) can all go in the stock you make in your crock pot. The heart and liver (the soft, dark red part) can be chopped fine and added to your gravy or stuffing, if you make one. Or you can just sautee or fry the liver with some onions, mash with butter, and eat on crackers. At the very least save the neck for your stock.

Thanks for the photos! I'm always afraid of roasting a whole bird, but theres no real reason why. Great post.

You can throw the gibblet/heart/livers in with the chicken carcass for the stock. After it's cooked, I feed them to my cats, who love them.

I think some people use that packet to make the gravey.

This is fantastic, thanks! I have wanted to roast a chicken, but just hadn't attempted it yet, due to lack of knowledge. I will be using this to do one in the next couple weeks!

Looks delightfully yummy! As for the giblets - I can't stand them, but my husband uses them to make gravy. Blessings!
