My husband is a certified Southern Boy, as he always say, and he prefers his chicken fried. He said it’s a southern thing. He grew up eating fried chicken and he has a favorite fried chicken recipe that came from his Mom.
I do enjoy a good fried chicken too, but from the time I came across these roasted chicken recipes, I seldom, like once in a blue moon seldom, prepare fried chicken. I can’t even remember the last time I fried chicken which is much to my husband’s dismay. But as I’ve told him, it’s for his own good because I believe, roasted chicken is healthier than fried chicken. Do you agree with me? đŸ™‚
These recipes have been our favorite roasted chicken recipes. Favorite meaning, my husband does enjoy them even though he prefers fried chicken, and kid approved too by our picky son. He does love fried chicken too, but he loves these as well.
Crispy Turmeric Chicken Thighs
These chicken thighs are really crispy. I thought my son’s not going to like it because of all the different spices in it, but he does. And when he loves a dish, I am such a happy camper because he can be so picky.
Perfect Roast Chicken
I came across the video of this recipe on Instagram. Aside from the fact that it is so easy to prepare with a little amount of ingredients, I was delighted to see the garlic and shallot prepared unpeeled. I have never seen that in a recipe before and that was I think the main reason why I immediately wanted to try the recipe. But there’s only three of us here and one whole chicken would be too much, so I just prepare this recipe using chicken thighs with bones in and skin on.
Do you love roasted chicken too? Do you have a favorite roasted chicken recipe?

Happy Foodie Friday and enjoy your weekend!
As a southern girl, I’m also on team fried chicken. However, your roasted chicken looks amazing. I do make roasted chicken often and it’s tasty too.
I’ll try these out. We do enjoy our chicken dishes for dinner. I hope you enjoy your weekend as well.
I need to save this for later. I’m always looking for new chicken recipes for weeknight meals.
People that love chicken will really like these recipes. It is good to avoid the frying and these seem like the better alternative.
There is nothing quite like a good roast chicken is there? It is amazing all the different ways you can make one as well – perfect for any taste.
I have never used turmeric on chicken, but I just bought some thighs and may have to try it now. I am always down for roasted chicken and trying new recipes to shake things up a bit!
I haven’t tried roasting a chicken before and I generally skip buying whole chickens. We tend to prefer chicken breast meat since it is deboned. I am always looking for new ways to make my chicken though. I also love tossing a bag of frozen chicken breasts into the crockpot and cooking it on slow all day long. Then I will divide it up and put it in dishes like chicken spaghetti, king ranch casserole, chicken ranch tacos, and any other dish that requires chicken. I am dreaming of cooler weather so that I can make chicken enchilada soup.
I’ve never had chicken enchilada soup before. Sounds good! đŸ™‚
Roasted chicken are always welcome in our house! I should make your recipe!
A roasted chicken dinner is an easy go to for us, and the leftovers make great chicken fajitas! lol
I do prefer my chicken roasted in the oven rather than fried. So, yes, I agree and think that is healthier. That said, good fried chicken can be excellent as well. Love turmeric on my food in general. Adds a nice touch to the dishes.
Roasted chicken sounds so good this time of year! Guess it’s time to let the oven warm up the house.
I am excited to try this! We always buy roasted chicken but also would love try new recipes. This looks really good!
We eat a lot of chicken in our house and I’m always looking for great new recipes.
I prefer chicken boneless, but when on the bone I definitely prefer fried. I love all the flavor!!!
I love roasted chicken. It’s easy, and my family loves it. And it goes with so many quick and easy sides.
I love me some roasted chicken. This would be perfect for next week’s family gathering.
