A good roast chicken is a busy/tired/smart cook’s best friend. It’s a simple, satisfying dish that can feed a small family for days. If I make one on Sunday, Jason and I will eat what we can for dinner that night and then I’ll throw the leftovers in salads throughout the week. Rookie may get a few small bites, too….
