Chicken

Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Rinse the whole chickens under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub the mixture all over the chickens, making sure to get under the skin and inside the cavity.

  3. 3

    Roast the Chicken

    Place the chickens in a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for about 1.5 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let the chickens rest for 10 minutes before carving.

Side Preparation

  1. 4

    Mashed Potatoes

    Peel and dice potatoes. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and return to pot. Add butter and milk, then mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  2. 5

    Green Beans

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add green beans, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until green beans are tender-crisp.

Bread Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare the Dinner Rolls

    Bake dinner rolls according to package instructions or recipe until golden brown. Remove from oven and brush with melted butter immediately.
