ROASTED CHICKEN WITH ROOT VEGETABLES
I always wanted to learn to make an excellent roasted chicken at home. I tried to find a recipe that is quick and easy, but in the process, I didn't lose the flavors of the chicken. I could not see any that had a few steps or ingredients. This is a recipe I came up with after trying many different methods. I used to buy a lot of rotisserie chicken, but after I learned this easy chicken dish, I don't think I will ever go back. The chicken turns out to be flavorful and juicy. It can be served with the vegetables as a main dish or use it in other recipes that have chicken in them.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH VEGETABLES
New cooks are intimidated by the idea of roasting a chicken, but nothing could be simpler. If you roast the chicken with some vegetables in the same pan for about an hour, you will have a moist, golden bird and savory accompaniments - all ready to eat at the same time. While they cook, you can set the table, watch the news, maybe make a dessert.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Preparing the Vegetables Peel the carrots and cut them crosswise into 1 1/2-inch-long pieces. Cut the thicker pieces in half lengthwise as well. Peel each onion and cut into quarters. Wash the potatoes under cold water to get rid of any dirt. Leave them whole and unpeeled. Scatter the carrots, onions, and potatoes on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking or roasting pan. Sprinkle 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper over them, and lay 2 sprigs of the rosemary on top. If you are using dried rosemary, put 1 tablespoon in the palm of your hand and crumble it over the vegetables.
- Preparing the Chicken The giblets, which consist of the liver, gizzard, and heart, plus the neck, are usually in a package inside the cavity of the chicken, between the legs. Remove them and discard or refrigerate them to use later. If there is a pale-yellow chunk of fat on either side of the cavity, pull or cut it off and discard. Hold the chicken under cold running water and rinse it inside and out. Shake off excess water and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the remaining 11/2 teaspoons of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper over the outside of the chicken, rubbing them all over the skin. Set the chicken, the breast side facing up, on top of some of the vegetables, with the remaining ones surrounding the bird. Insert a dial-type (not instant-read) thermometer into the breast, taking care that the rod of the thermometer does not touch any bones.
- Roasting the Chicken Put the chicken in the center of the oven and set the timer for 30 minutes. When the timer rings, remove the pan from the oven and, using a large spoon, turn over the vegetables that surround the chicken. Don't bother with the vegetables under the chicken. Return the pan to the oven and set the timer for 30 more minutes. After 30 minutes, take the chicken out of the oven to check for doneness. Insert the tip of a small paring knife into the meat of the thigh where it attaches to the body. If the juices that run out are pink, the chicken needs to continue cooking for another 10 to 15 minutes. If the juices are clear, it is done. The meat thermometer should show a temperature of 170 degrees F to 180 degrees F when the chicken is done.
- Carving the Chicken Carve the chicken according to the instructions on the preceding page. Scoop the vegetables out of the roasting pan and onto a serving platter. Remove the fat from the pan juices. Arrange the cut chicken pieces on top of vegetables, spoon some pan juices over the chicken and vegetables, scatter the 2 remaining rosemary sprigs on top and bring the dish to the table for serving.
ROASTED CHICKEN WITH VEGETABLES
For those of you who watched Top Chef on Bravo channel, you may recognize this as a dish Elia prepared. It was the only thing simple enough in the whole show I thought I could make. It is a wonderful never-fail dish. It sounds like a lot of work but really after you wash and cut the veggies, there's nothing to it. And clean-up is a breeze if you use heavy duty aluminum foil in the roasting pan. I leave out the zucchini because it gets too mushy for me. Even though this dish is a meal in itself, I usually prepare some stuffing to go along with all the buttery broth. The rosemary smell in the kitchen is indescribable.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: For the best flavor and texture, use a whole chicken that is free-range and organic.
- Prepare the chicken properly: Rinse the chicken inside and out and pat it dry with paper towels. This will help the chicken cook evenly and prevent the skin from becoming soggy.
- Season the chicken generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to season the chicken. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
- Roast the chicken at a high temperature: This will help the chicken cook quickly and evenly. Aim for a temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add vegetables to the roasting pan: This is a great way to add flavor and nutrition to your meal. Choose vegetables that will roast well, such as potatoes, carrots, onions, and Brussels sprouts.
- Baste the chicken and vegetables occasionally: This will help keep them moist and prevent them from drying out.
- Let the chicken rest before carving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more flavorful and moist bird.
