Bacon-Infused Roasted Chicken
Ingredients List
-
2 tablespoons butter
-
1 (4 pound) whole chicken
-
salt and pepper to taste
-
1 teaspoon dried thyme
-
2 carrots, cut in chunks
-
paprika to taste
-
8 slices bacon
-
2 cups beef broth
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 450°F (220°C).
-
Rub the chicken with butter, then season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Stuff the cavity with carrots and tie the legs together. Place the chicken, breast side up, in a roasting pan. Lay bacon strips over the top and secure with toothpicks. Sprinkle with paprika. Pour beef broth into the pan, avoiding the bacon.
-
Roast the chicken for 15 minutes, then lower the temperature to 350°F (175°C). Baste with the broth every 15 minutes. Continue roasting for 1 hour 15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 180°F (82°C) at the thickest part of the thigh.
-
Remove the bacon and discard the toothpicks. Roast the chicken for an additional 15 minutes to crisp the skin. Transfer to a platter, remove the ties, and serve. The bacon is edible, but it’s best to discard the carrots.
