Hey there! I'm planning on roasting a chicken for dinner and pondering on how long should it rest before putting it into the oven. I heard conflicting ideas. Some claims it takes 10 minutes while others mentioned it's 20 minutes. What’s your take on this? I wanna achieve juicy and flavorful results, not dry and sad. Let's share on this.

Resting a roast chicken is crucial for ensuring juiciness and tenderness. Ideally, you should let the roast chicken rest for about 10 to 20 minutes after removing it from the oven before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and moist chicken.

Let that bird chill for about 10-15 minutes! Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken juicy and flavorful. Plus, it's the perfect time to prep your sides and let the anticipation build!

I think it's essential to let a roast chicken rest for at least 15 minutes. Though, it's worth the wait for juicier meat.
