How to Make Uber Easy Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Place the whole chicken (about 3-4 lbs) in a large roasting pan.
  3. Add 2 cups of chicken broth to the bottom of the pan.
  4. Loosely cover the pan with aluminum foil.
  5. Roast for 4-5 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165°F (74°C).
  6. Remove from oven and let rest for at least 15 minutes before carving.
  7. Shred or slice the chicken breast meat and use in your favorite recipes like sandwiches or salads. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
