ROAST CHICKEN

Please make sure you have good exhaust fan and windows open. You are cooking with high temperature and it can get smoky. I had my fire extinguisher handy because it was my first time cooking with this high temperature. My fire alarm went off when I was cooking this and it scared me. If you are uncomfortable please don't try cooking it. I adapted this recipe from the Le Pichet blog.

I'm so sorry I didn't have butcher's twine so I didn't get to truss the chicken.
