roast chicken

Oven-browned poultry

Roast chicken is chicken cooked in an oven at high heat, typically whole, until the skin turns golden and crisp.

It's a staple of home cooking across many cultures—simple enough for weeknight dinners, impressive enough for Sunday gatherings.

We're having roast chicken with roasted vegetables tonight.
