If you want moist, tender chicken every time, the key is to roast. This is my foolproof recipe for the Perfect Roasted Chicken.

Another way is to place a slice of lemon under the skin before roasting. This adds extra flavor to the chicken. Adding roasted chicken to pasta dishes, soups, and stews makes all the difference in the world. Chicken salad using roasted chicken is amazing!
