Celebrate Julia Child's birthday on August 15th by paying homage to her classic French recipes with these easy, simplified versions! 

Roast Chicken 1/15

Roast Chicken

This is the ultimate, foolproof roast chicken recipe. Start with a 3 pound chicken. Wash, dry and truss it, then sprinkle the inside cavity with ½ teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon softened butter. Finally, rub the skin with 2 tablespoons butter. Place in a roasting pan, breast side up, in a 425 °F oven. Roast the chicken until the skin is brown and crispy and when poked, the juices run clear. You can also baste the chicken from time to time as it roasts.
