COOK'S TIPS
Skillet preliminaries speed up roast chicken
To reduce to-the-table time for roast chicken, purchase bone-in, skin-on chicken parts instead of a whole chicken. Sear the parts in a skillet until golden on each side, then transfer to the oven until no trace of pink remains and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes as opposed to the usual 50 minutes.
