The secret to to making a roast chicken tender and juicy is in the techniques. The chicken should be roasted at a high temperature (425 degrees F in this recipe) and left uncovered. Roasting it uncovered helps to create that perfect crispy skin and tender, juicy chicken meat. When the chicken is done roasting and fresh out of the oven, allow it to rest for a few minutes (about 5-10) before carving it.
