on Jul 30, 2013, Updated Sep 28, 2021 33 Comments Last week, I had girlfriends over for a get together and knew I wanted to include in the menu something that everyone would enjoy, but that wouldn’t have me working away in the kitchen when everyone arrived. I knew this Skillet Roasted Chicken would definitely fit the bill! There are just a few tricks to it that make it my favorite way to roast chicken. Ever. Really. Let me tell you about them. First, you are going to want to preheat your oven to 475 degrees while you get the chicken started on the stovetop. You’ll drizzle about a tablespoon of olive oil into a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. (You know how much I adore my skillets by now, right?) Then, while your olive oil is getting hot, salt and pepper your chicken and place it skin side down in the skillet. This makes your chicken over the top, out of this world, deliciously amazing. You know it’ll be good when I come up with a huge string of adjectives, don’t ya? Now, you’ll cook the chicken until it gets browned and then turn it and cook a little more until before add a few more things and then transferring to the oven to finish it off. And in less than 30 minutes, you have this simple, yet oh so scrumptious skillet full of amazing chicken. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! Here’s my Skillet Roasted Chicken recipe. Give it a try, make it your own, and enjoy! Enjoy!Robyn xo
