HERB-ROASTED CHICKEN



Herb-Roasted Chicken image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 3-to-4-pound chickens
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, plus 2 sprigs
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary, plus 1 sprig torn in half
1 lemon, halved
1 onion, halved
6 cloves garlic, smashed
5 bunches scallions, quartered
2 pints grape tomatoes or small heirloom tomatoes
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Pat the chicken dry; generously season the skin and inside the cavity with salt and pepper. Refrigerate, uncovered, at least 4 hours or overnight to dry out the skin. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before roasting.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Mash the butter with the chopped thyme and chopped rosemary in a small bowl. Gently slide your fingers under the chicken skin on the breasts and legs to loosen it. Scoop some of the herbed butter with a spoon; slide the spoon under the skin and hold the skin in place while you remove the spoon. Smooth the skin to distribute the butter. Repeat with the remaining butter.
  • Squeeze a lemon half into the cavity of each chicken, then stuff the lemon half inside. Stuff 1/2 onion, 3 garlic cloves, 1 thyme sprig and 1/2 rosemary sprig into each chicken cavity. Tie the legs together with twine. Set a rack in a large roasting pan; put the chicken on the rack and roast 25 minutes. Toss the scallions, tomatoes, olive oil and a large pinch of salt in a bowl, then add to the roasting pan. Remove the twine from the chicken and continue roasting until the skin is golden brown and a thermometer inserted into the thigh registers 170 degrees F, about 50 more minutes.
  • Transfer the chicken and vegetables to platters and let rest about 10 minutes before carving.

BAKED HERBED CHICKEN BREASTS



Baked Herbed Chicken Breasts image

I got this recipe from one of my mom's church cookbooks. I always seem to find the best tasting recipe in church cookbooks! This recipe uses boneless chicken with a blend of spices to give it a wonderful taste. I usually make this with potatoes (prepared as fancy or simple as you like) and a vegetable. I also like to combine spices ahead of time. I've tried this by eliminating 1 or 2 spices when I was out and it still turns out wonderful.

BAKED CHICKEN WITH HERB CRUMBS



Baked Chicken With Herb Crumbs image

Provided by Jacques Pepin

Categories     dinner, weekday, roasts, main course

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 chickens, about 3 1/2 pounds each
3 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 slices firm white bread (to yield about 2 1/2 cups fresh bread crumbs)
2 sprigs fresh thyme, or 1/2 teaspoon dried
2 sprigs fresh oregano, or 1/2 teaspoon dried
4 tablespoons chopped chives or parsley
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Cut off the wing tips of both chickens and set aside with the necks and gizzards (these can be wrapped and frozen for use in stock or soup). Holding one chicken on its side, cut through the backbone beginning at the neck end with a sharp knife. Spread the chicken open, lay it bone side down on the table, and press it against the table with your hands to flatten it. Pull off the skin; it should come off easily except, perhaps, around the wings. Remove what you can. Repeat with the other chicken.
  • Place the two chickens flesh side up on a jellyroll pan and rub with 1 tablespoon of the oil and the Tabasco. Sprinkle with salt. Cover and refrigerate until cooking time.
  • Prepare the herb coating. Put the bread slices in the bowl of a food processor and process until they are crumbs. Chop the fresh thyme and fresh oregano in a food processor or by hand with a sharp knife. Combine the bread crumbs; the chopped thyme, oregano and parsley; the black pepper, and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Toss gently to coat the bread crumbs lightly with the oil.
  • When ready to cook, preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Pat the herb coating lightly over the surface of the chickens. Place in oven and bake 30 to 35 minutes until the crumbs are nicely browned. Remove and let sit for 10 minutes. Cut into pieces and serve.

Tips for a Perfect Herb Chicken Bake:

  • Choose the Right Chicken: Go for a whole chicken or chicken breasts for a tender and juicy dish. If using a whole chicken, spatchcock it for even cooking.
  • Generously Season: Don't be shy with the herbs and spices. Rub them all over the chicken, inside and out, to infuse it with flavor.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs offer a more intense flavor compared to dried ones. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, use half the amount of dried herbs.
  • Let it Rest: Once the chicken is done baking, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more succulent and flavorful chicken.
  • Serve with Sides: Pair the herb chicken with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a refreshing salad for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

The herb chicken bake is a versatile and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great option for weeknight dinners, special occasions, or even potlucks. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is sure to become a staple in your kitchen.
