Notes
- All the juices inside the chicken should be clear, not pink, whenever you cut into it. If it is not all the way done, just bake it a little longer. The skin should be crispy and the inside juicy. One whole chicken serves our family of 7 for two meals. It also provides us with a half gallon of homemade chicken broth.
