Roast chicken is my favorite easy meal. You get crispy skin and moist insides.

Here's my recipe:
Oven at 450.
Pour 2-3 Tb. of melted butter over chicken. Salt and pepper outside and inside.
If you have fresh herbs put some in the cavity, or dried, or none. Put the chicken in a pan slightly larger than the chicken.
Strew some garlic (4-5 cloves), onions or shallots around the chicken. But if you don't like it, just chop up the chicken and cook it however you like.
Pour some liquid (about a half cup) around the chicken. I like wine, but juice, broth or water also work. If it dries out add some more.
Cook for about an hour till crispy and brown on the outside. Basting every 20 minutes or so.

However if you don't like roast chicken, just chop it up with a good knife and cook it some other way.
