    Roasted Chicken Recipe used in Freezer Meals - this is a master recipe that is perfect for recipes that call for roasted chicken and when I find whole chickens on sale I make this up and freeze.

    This Recipe for Roast Chicken is perfect for freezer meals. I love this recipe because you can make a bulk amount and prepare four chicken recipes with it for freezer cooking. We also love to cook my whole chickens in my crockpot too!  I like to prep it in advance and then freeze it for when I am ready to use it. It is great recipe for when you find chicken on sale.

      Thank you for sharing your recipes. Easy question- do I cover the chickens while roasting?

        I do, I think it keeps it more moist.

      What do I do with the garlic after it's mashed? I'm assuming I mix SOME with chicken but surely not 8 heads.

        I personally combine with all 8 cloves of garlic. Roasting the garlic brings a milder flavor but you can discard what you want.

      I want to know, too. What do you do with the garlic after it's mashed? It doesn't say!

      I'm confused. Is it 8 heads or 8 cloves of garlic? That is a huge difference.

      I searched the recipes for whole cooked chicken, and I don't see any recipes that actually use this! All the recipes I've seen so far are for raw chicken.
