Grain-Free Spicy Whole Roasted Chicken
One of the things I learned on the farm, raising our own chickens, was that farm chicken isn’t easily served up as boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs. Most of the time, our home-grown chicken was served as whole, roasted chicken. This brought about the need to create different and interesting whole chicken recipes! 🙂 This was one of the recipes I created on the farm. This recipe can also be found in my GAPS Meal Plans.
This chicken makes an excellent broth! I used it to make my Tomato Soup recipe & it made a tasty soup!
