Roast Chicken ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, a batch of 3 Roast Chicken is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Mountain Salt ×2 and Frantoio Oil ×1 — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 15 units, plus 20 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,735 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 891 of the 1,058 Culinarian ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 6 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 14 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 14 Fire Crystal, 3 Fire Cluster and 3 Water Cluster.

Every step is Culinarian work, from a Lv 71 intermediate up to the Lv 100 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

4 of the 6 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Lemonette (6:00, 18:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 12 Eorzean hours, about 35 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Frantoio Oil has the widest use: 35 recipes call for it, all of them Culinarian recipes.
