Overview[edit | edit source]

Poulet au four is the French term for oven-roasted chicken. It's a classic dish loved for its crispy skin, tender meat, and flavorful herbs. This dish is not only a staple in French households but is enjoyed worldwide, especially because of its keto-friendly profile.

Ingredients[edit | edit source]

  • 1 whole chicken (about 4-5 lbs or 1.8-2.3 kg)
  • 2-3 tbsp of butter or olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, and garlic
  • Optional: Vegetables such as carrots, onions, or potatoes for roasting alongside

Preparation[edit | edit source]

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Clean the chicken and remove any giblets. Pat dry with paper towels.
  3. Rub the outside of the chicken with butter or olive oil.
  4. Season generously with salt and pepper. Add optional herbs inside the cavity or under the skin.
  5. If using vegetables, scatter them around a roasting pan. Place the chicken on top.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for about 1.5 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. Let rest for 10 minutes before carving.
