Notes
- Confirm that there is nothing in the chicken cavity before you pop the chick into the oven.
- Put the water into the bottom of the dutch oven and not over the chicken.
- Cooking times may vary slightly, make sure to cook your roast chicken to a minimum of 165 degrees Fahrenheit before serving. I like to have a meat thermometer on hand so that I can’t mess this up!
- Let the dutch oven whole chicken sit for at least ten minutes. This allows the juices to settle into the meat making for a better flavor.
