A simple roasted chicken may be one of the greatest, most satisfying things a home cook can master.
or wet one? And if a wet brine, what ratio of salt to liquid, what type of liquid, and for how long to soak? Should I marinate instead? Or go super simple with salt and pepper? Should I roast high and fast or low and slow? Truss? Spatchcock? Sear first on the stovetop? Just order pizza?
At some point, these questions are not a productive way to get dinner on the table. As much as I adore roasted chicken, I realized a while back that I was roasting fewer birds because of my tendency to overthink every single detail. To get back to weekly roast chicken dinners, I needed a preparation so simple, foolproof, and flexible that I’d turn to it again and again without second-guessing anything.
I found that preparation in this buttermilk roast chicken. It relies on a super-simple brine: 1 cup buttermilk, 1 cup pickle juice, 1 teaspoon salt. It’s so easy to remember; I can have a chicken soaking in the brine and all of the mess cleaned up in the time it typically takes me to find my phone to look up a recipe. From there, I like to rub a little olive oil on the chicken, then give it a blast of high heat.

Some recipes call for combining buttermilk and pickle juice to get the best of both worlds: tender, juicy, well-seasoned meat. So I figured, why not give roast chicken the same treatment? Like with fried chicken, the pickle juice imparts an ever-so-subtle, tangy flavor to the surface of the roasted bird.
With this roasted chicken, I always take the opportunity to tuck as many potatoes around the bird as possible so they’ll soak up the delicious pan drippings. To make the potatoes even more delicious, I toss them in cornichon butter and parsley while the chicken is resting. The idea for smashing chopped cornichons and softened butter together comes from
