Ghee Roasted Chicken 🍗
A simple yet flavorful recipe for a whole roasted chicken, made with rich ghee for a delicious, crispy skin. Perfect for a healthy and easy dinner.
Equipment
- Roasting Pan
- Rimmed Baking Sheet
- Meat Thermometer
Ingredients
- 5-6 lbs whole chicken
- 1/4 cup ghee clarified butter, for rich flavor and crisp skin
- 2 teaspoons salt to season perfectly
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground, for a little kick
Instructions
- Get Ready to Roast! Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your chicken cooks evenly and develops that delicious golden crust.
- Ghee Goodness: Gently rub the softened ghee all over the outside of your chicken. For extra flavor and crispy skin, carefully spread some under the skin too!
- Season Simply: Sprinkle the salt and black pepper generously inside the chicken's cavity and all over its exterior. This simple seasoning is all you need for amazing, wholesome taste!
- Roast to Perfection: Place your seasoned chicken on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast it in the preheated oven for about 90 minutes. You'll know it's perfectly cooked when a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast reads 160°F (71°C).
- Rest & Enjoy: Once cooked, let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving. This crucial step helps the juices redistribute, ensuring every bite is tender, juicy, and absolutely delicious!

This simple recipe yields a delicious, tender, and juicy whole roasted chicken.
