Instructions
  1. Turn oven onto 415 convection bake or 350 conventional.
  2. Choose a roasting dish, and drizzle with olive oil, add a dash of salt and your chopped herbs.
  3. Clean chicken with water, pat with a towel and massage with a sprinkling of coarse kosher salt (pink is great too!)
  4. Place chicken in roasting dish and massage with olive oil and herbs already in place.
  5. Melt 3 tablespoons or more of butter (in oven as it's heating), cut one cara cara orange in 1/2 & crush a few cloves of garlic.
  6. Massage the garlic, love & gratitude into the chicken... You can tie legs together with string if you want to... Pour melted butter on top.
  7. Squeeze cara caras on top and all around.. Place the squeezed oranges into the cavity of the chicken with some more herbs.
  8. Place carrots on the side or in another roasting pan with olive oil and salt (no need to peel these thin carrots)
  9. Place chicken in the middle of the oven.
  10. Baste and check your chicken every 15 - 18 minutes.
  11. *1 lb of chicken is cooked every 15 minutes*
  12. So depending on the weight of the chicken, cook accordingly.
  13. As the skin begins to crisp, you might want to cover with foil if needed.
  14. You can insert a meat thermometer in the thigh to see where it's at: Chicken is usually cooked at 165-175 degrees.
  15. Once cooked, you can let the chicken rest a few minutes on the stove with a beautiful towel on top.
  16. While the chicken is cooling prep a side salad.
  17. Always salt your salad before dressing. With a dressing of avocado, walnut or olive oil, a dash of rice vinegar and a squeeze of cara cara orange.
  18. I love to create the dressing in the bowl before I create the salad.
  19. Then mix together with hands.
  20. This meal will take about an hour in total to prep and cook.
  21. Enjoy!
