Succulent and golden, this roast chicken is a testament to the art of simple yet exquisite home cooking. Achieving a harmonious finish between the juicy white meat and the rich dark parts is the soul of this dish. A tenderizing brine, a luxurious spread of butter beneath the skin, and attentive roasting guarantee an evenly cooked, beautifully bronzed centerpiece.
