4 lbs chicken
1/2 onion
1/2 carrot
1 celery rib
1 sprig thyme
1/2 lemon
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne (more or less)
1/4 cup butter (2 TB, more or less)
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 cups stock

1
Kosher the chicken in very cold water with 1/2 cup kosher salt for at least two hours to 6 hours.
2
Dry chicken very well inside and out and stuff with onion, carrot, celery, thyme and lemon.
3
Separate skin from chicken breast, legs and thighs and push butter under and smoosh it down so it spreads a little.
4
Mix salt, pepper, paprika, white pepper together and rub on outside of chicken.
5
Put chicken into a zip baggie and refrigerate overnight.
6
Next day, dry chicken again and sprinkle skin with corn startch. Set on a rack in a shallow pan breast side down (I use a cast iron skillet). Pour two cups of stock into the pan and roast at 275 conventional or 250 convection for 4 to 5 hours until the thigh meat registers at least 160.
7
Flip bird breast side up for the last 30 - 45 minutes.
8
A four pound bird will take about 4 hours and a five pounder will take about 5 hours. Do not judge by the time, judge by the thigh temperature.
9
Serve with potatoes, rice or egg noodles.
