ingredients

• 1 (5 lb) whole chickens

• salt

directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
2. Place whole chicken into a roasting pan. Roast in the oven for 11/2 hours, or until the leg moves easily within its socket. Remove from the oven, and allow the chicken to cool slightly.
3. Remove the skin from the chicken and discard. Tear the meat from the bones, and chop into small pieces. Discard bones, and place the chicken in a large bowl.

5. Season with salt and red pepper flakes. Taste and adjust amounts of lemon juice, salt and red pepper so that one does not overwhelm the others.

Easy dressup for roast chicken. I used some breasts that we had already cooked. Very easy to let each person mix their plate to their own taste.
