Tuck the skin near the throat and the wings down under the carcass. We take the culinary twine, we twine the carcass around the breast with the twine, we braid the eight around the legs, tighten and tie a knot or bow. Chicken tail can be tied to the legs, but I prefer to leave a hole open so that the heat of the oven can penetrate the inside of the chicken.

During baking, the juice that comes out of the bird will drain on the vegetables and they will become incredibly tasty.
