Yes, you get to eat delicious roast chicken for dinner, but you also get so much more.

Fall has always been my favorite season.
I love the typically not-too-hot, not-too-cold days and lower humidity here in New England.

I love seeing the leaves change colors.
And I love all the flavors and smells that come with fall.
There aremany ways to roast a chicken, and everyone you ask probably has a different favorite method.
If youre new to roasting chicken, a good recipe to start with is ourBasic Whole Roast Chicken.
Roasting the chicken in a covered pot helps keep the meat moist.
The bonus to this recipe is that you could eat the vegetables you roasted with the chicken.
OurRoast Chicken with Cider Gravyis also a very nice option, especially during the fall.
This can work for lunch or dinner depending when I need a quick meal that week.
Once the stock cools slightly, I portion it into pint or quart containers and refrigerate them until cold.
Ill usually plan to use some of my first batches of stock to make soup.
The benefits of roasting a chicken every week sell themselves.
Plus, the way your house smells when you roast a chicken is so warm and comforting.
