I dont put oil in my pan, when I cook a whole chicken, I add about 2.5 centimetre's of water to the roasting pan, and then place the chicken, which has had the butter pushed under the skin, then I pour some soy sauce on the chook, (that makes the skin crunchy) and believe me its yum ..

Funny Smithy my DH likes the choocs bum (ewwwww) - don't even go there, I dont know how he eats that little flappy bit

Then I take it out half an hour later and add my vegies, we are having roast chicken tonight

We're having whole roast chook tonight

I'm the same as some of the others above. Pop a few cms of water in the bottom of the pan but have the chook raised on a rack so it's not sitting in the water Sprinkle with whatever herbs you like (honestly I just chuck a whole mixture on) and bake on about 180 for 1.5hrs depending how big it is.

Thanks for your replies ladies.

I took the chicken out of the freezer, waiting for it to defrost a little. I couldn't wait any longer so I decided to boil it a little. I came back waiting to turn the chicken but saw something disgusting which is normal to some of you. The saggy bum - which some of you mentioned. I freaked out not knowing what the yukky looking stuff was. Am not touching it. No roast chicken here tonight or ever for that matter. The chicken is still in the pot. I am not going near it.

Sorry, but you gave me a good giggle.

[Cheeky_Monkey]

Me too, how funny.

I do agree though that raw chickens look pretty yucky. Still love to eat them though

I seriously did leave it on the kitchen bench. DH heard me making 'eeeewwwww' noises. I didn't even ask him to put it back in the freezer but he did. I don't know what to do with three whole chickens that I will never cook.
