🔥Carnivore Tender Roast Chicken Recipe

🥩 Carnivore Roast Chicken Recipe (Crispy Skin + Juicy Inside)

🛒 Ingredients:

• 1 whole chicken (pasture-raised if possible)

• 2–4 tbsp tallow, duck fat, ghee, or butter

• Sea salt

• Optional: garlic powder (some carnivore folks allow spices), lemon wedge (if you’re relaxed carnivore)

🔥 Instructions:

1. Prep:

• Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

• Pat the chicken dry with paper towels (really helps with crispy skin).

• Rub the entire bird with tallow or butter — under the skin if you want to get fancy.

• Sprinkle generously with salt — go hard, especially on the skin.

• Optional: Stuff with a wedge of lemon or garlic (skip if doing strict carnivore).

2. Roast:

• Place the chicken breast-side up in a roasting pan or cast-iron skillet.

• Roast for about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 min, depending on size (roughly 20 min per pound).

• If skin is browning too fast, loosely tent with foil halfway through.

3. Rest & Carve:

• Check for doneness — internal temp should be 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.

• Let rest for 10–15 minutes to keep it juicy before slicing.

💡 Tips for Carnivore Goodness:

• Save the drippings! Use them as a fatty gravy or pour over meat later.

• Roast extra skin or thighs separately if you want more crispy bites.

• You can also spatchcock the chicken (remove the backbone and flatten) for faster, even cooking.

Want a variation like chicken thighs only, or something with beef or lamb instead? Happy to whip that up too. 🥩🔥
