Secret to perfect roast chicken

There is no coincidence when talking about cooking and baking. Well, there might be, but sometimes, when we buy something somewhere and it tastes perfect, it is because some of the rules have been followed during the preparation. Yes, one can avoid them, but why should you, if the result is better when those small details come into place? So, it is not that difficult to master a good roast chicken as long as you follow these rules:

- Get the best organic chicken (not too old though, as sometimes they are better to be boiled than roasted).

- Always take the chicken out of the fridge at least an hour or two before cooking. It cooks better if goes into the oven at room temperature. The time it needs to get to room temperature depends only on the temperature you have in your kitchen.

- You can salt chicken even the day before but if you have forgotten, salt the moment you take it out of the fridge. Little goes a long way.

- Turn the chicken while roasting it. Start on one breast side or one side, then the other, back and forth like that finishing on the back. The roast is much more succulent like this than cooking all the time on the back.
