Supermarket chickens come ready to roast, so you don't have to worry too much about cleaning or prepping them. I just slice an onion in half and place it in the cavity and then stuff it with herbs (sage, thyme, rosemary etc). Drizzle liberally with vegetable oil and season well with salt and pepper.
I made the chicken curry at the end of the week so I could throw all the leftover chicken and vegetables in. This made a huge batch and we had leftover curry and fettuccine for lunches this week.
