    Tips and hints: My chicken was a huge arsey chicken so when doing yours, plan for about 30 minutes per pound.

24. 24

    I know people say not to cover them but seriously buy a good Dutch oven and you never need to pay attention to a chicken or roast again.

25. 25

    You could go all crazy and add all kinds of stuff but WHY!
