There is a myriad of ways to prepare fresh Grade A whole chickens. (We've all heard of the famous grilled chicken standing on a beer can!) High in protein, fresh whole chicken is always popular since you have white meat, dark meat...and two oyster meat, so no bickering! You may also have some meat left over for a quick meal the next day. Preparation is simple, all you need to do is season your chicken with oil, salt, and pepper, then insert a halved lemon, garlic cloves and a bunch of fresh thyme and rosemary inside. Oil your roasting pan and place your whole chicken on its back. Place it in a preheated 350°F oven for about 1 hour and 45 minutes. (Allow about 20-25 minutes per pound.) To keep your chicken juicy, try to baste it often while cooking to prevent it from drying out. Butcher's Choice.
