Roasted Chickens Two Ways
- 2 chicken roasters, about 3 pounds each
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chinese five-spice powder
- About 6 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
- 1 navel orange, quartered
- About 15 sage leaves
- 1 lemon, quartered
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Season roasters with salt and pepper inside the chicken's cavity and on their skin.
- Place on a baking sheet lined with foil.
- Create a divider between the 2 chickens with a thick piece of aluminum foil.
- Rub 1 of the chickens all over with the five-spice powder and stuff with 3 garlic cloves and 2 orange quarters.
- Squeeze the other 2 orange quarters over the chicken and place 1 underneath a leg and 1 underneath a wing.
- Stuff the other chicken with sage leaves, the remaining 3 garlic cloves, and 2 lemon quarters.
- Squeeze the other 2 lemon quarters over the chicken and place 1 underneath a leg and 1 underneath a wing.
- Roast for 1 1/2 hours until skin is crispy and juices run clear and drumsticks pull away from the chicken easily.
- Let rest for at least 10 minutes before carving.
