Sunday Supper - Roast Chicken

We had another round of Sunday Supper at our house last weekend and the recipe was a hit. I'm dying to share it with you, but this is going to be a short post for several reasons.

1. I am an idiot and did not take a picture of the two ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL roast chickens reclining on an assortment of perfectly roasted veggies with thyme sticking out every which way. And this is despite the fact that I was sitting staring at the cooked chickens for about 2 hours before we ate them due to a plumbing emergency at the house of our Sunday Supper partners in crime. So while my neighbor and I sat around with our babies, drinking a beer and catching up, our husbands were two doors away dealing with a flooded basement and calling workmen. During that entire time of staring at my two gorgeous roasted birds, it did not occur to me to pick up the damn camera. Because I am an idiot.

2. I used this recipe, as written, from Ina Garten. It appears on the Food Network website. Follow this link. I did not adapt it. Adaptation was unnecessary. Make it as written and you will not be sorry. This is (seriously) the best roast chicken I have had. It is simple and just perfect, which is probably why Ina Garten calls it "Perfect Roast Chicken." Huh.
