My family loves this chicken! It is always so tender and moist and is a perfect Sunday dinner. The bacon helps to ‘baste’ the chicken while it cooks. Recipe can be adjusted to any size whole chicken.
Step: 1
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Step: 2
Rub butter over the entire chicken. Season with salt, pepper and thyme. Place the carrots inside the cavity, and tie the legs together. Place the chicken breast side up in a roasting pan. Lay bacon strips across the top of the chicken, and secure with toothpicks. Sprinkle with paprika. Pour the beef broth into the roasting pan - do not pour over the bacon.
Step: 3
Roast for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, the reduce the heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Baste with some of the broth. Continue to roast for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature is 180 degrees F (82 degrees C) when taken in the thickest part of the thigh. Baste every 15 minutes with the broth.
Step: 4
Remove the bacon and discard toothpicks. Roast the chicken for 15 more minutes to brown the skin. Transfer to a serving platter, and remove the ties. You may eat the bacon, but it is best to discard the carrots.

Avoidance on late-night snacking and got eat , it is much important to include some fun foods (or what one may perceive as unnecessary ). It means , if we can be order the healthiest thing on the menu but come home and graze on chips, perhaps we really will the junk food and should have just enjoyed it in the first place."
When it comes to eat on evening , much eat or eating too much of the bad kinds of food can lead to trouble on sleeping. On the flip side, a daylight food that is less than satiating can leave you wanting more and resulting in reaching for an unhealthy late-night snack even closer to bedtime .
