To boil a Chicken.

Take a large caserole metal dish, fill with water.
Then place on hob, power up hob or turn on gas.
Mind your fingers if using a lighter with gas.
Place Chicken in water and boil.

Depends on the size of the chicken, usually less than hour for a smallish bird.

Boiling isn't the best idea with a whole chicken tho mate it's more trouble than it's worth. You're left with a load of skin and bone and carcas in the water you need to sift through to get the meat

definately roast with a drip tray..

Just season the chicken with some salt and pepper and bang it in the oven.

Also - fill the drip tray with water. This will keep the chicken nice and moist!

Don't boil it, tastes bland and you'll get sick of it.

boiling will taste like ****, but remove a fair bit of fat if you skim it off the top of the water

There is little fat in a good quality chicken anyway, especially in the breasts. Just roast it on a drip tray and turn it half way through to keep it from drying out (start upside down and put right side up half way) There's no need to boil it
