The truth is that making your own juicy roast chicken at home is surprisingly easy, costs less, and often tastes even better.
There is a reason roast chicken has never gone out of style. It is one of those meals that feels just as right for a relaxed Sunday lunch as it does for a weeknight family dinner. It is comforting, satisfying and, if there are leftovers, tomorrow's lunch is already sorted.
Yet despite being one of the simplest meals to make, roasting a whole chicken is something many home cooks still find frustrating.
The biggest complaint is almost always the same. The chicken comes out dry.
That is one reason supermarket rotisserie chickens have become so popular. They are convenient and ready to eat, but they are also becoming more expensive.
