Seasoning is paramount to the perfect roasted chicken. Salt adds flavour but it also brings the moisture in the skin to the surface to evaporate on roasting.

A trivet of vegetables and herbs is used to lift the chicken off the base of the pan but also add flavor to the tray for gravy.

It's important to baste the skin throughout roasting as this promotes crispiness. Using the fat that accumulates in the tray helps with this.

Resting the roasted chicken after the roasting time is important to let all the juices settle. It also makes it easier to carve.
