Confessions of former Thomas Keller Simple Roast Chicken addict

What Keller’s recipe showed me was the value of roasting a chicken at high heat. I didn’t really follow the recipe other than to dry and salt the chicken and roast at 450. While delicious, I’m giving up the high heat, but sticking with the salt and occasionally adding thyme. Beyond that I ignored the rest of the recipe. Do report back on your results.
