Roast Chicken side dish and serving ideas

Roast Chicken

Roast Chicken

Whether cooking it whole, spatchcock, cut up or even cut into halves, roast chicken is a very versatile dish. It goes well with many different flavors. Classics like lemon and thyme or herb and garlic. Something more exotic like tandoori spices, or stuffed with a Moroccan style couscous. A roast chicken should be tender and juicy with a crispy skin. It’s pan juices make a delicious gravy, particularly comforting in the fall and winter. Or roasted with lemon halves and served with a cool, crisp salad for a refreshing meal in the summer. Even the leftovers can become several lunches or different meals for the rest of the week.
