ROASTED CHICKEN WITH ROOT VEGETABLES



Roasted Chicken with Root Vegetables image

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.

4 large carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 large fennel bulb, cut into thin wedges

  • Wash the chicken and pat dry. Poke it with a toothpick all over about 40 times. Season with salt and put in the refrigerator to chill for 8 hours.

  • Remove from the oven and cover with aluminum foil; let sit for 15 to 30 minutes before serving to allow the chicken to absorb all the juices.

GARLIC ROASTED CHICKEN AND POTATOES



Garlic Roasted Chicken and Potatoes image

I've been making this recipe for so many years, I can't remember where I got it from. It's really quick to throw together. After fixing it several times, my husband 'discovered' that you were supposed to spread the garlic on the chicken. It's one of his favorites now. This recipe is very easy to adjust up or down. Just make sure your pan is big enough if adjusting up. I usually add more potatoes, since we like them. Serve with a mixed greens salad.

Time 1h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

¼ cup butter
6 chicken leg quarters, split into drumsticks and thighs
6 large Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into chunks
24 cloves garlic, unpeeled
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup maple syrup

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Sprinkle with salt and black pepper; turn the chicken, potatoes, and garlic to coat with butter.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Chicken: Select a whole chicken that is about 3-4 pounds in size. A larger chicken may not cook evenly, while a smaller chicken may not have enough meat.
  • Prepare the Chicken: Rinse the chicken inside and out and pat it dry with paper towels. This will help the seasonings adhere to the chicken.
  • 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: Roasting the chicken at a high temperature will help to create a crispy skin and juicy meat. Start by roasting the chicken at 425°F (220°C) for 20 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue roasting for 1 hour, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Roast the Vegetables Separately: Roasting the vegetables separately from the chicken will help to prevent them from becoming overcooked. Toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast them at 425°F (220°C) for 20-30 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned.
  • Let the Chicken Rest Before Serving: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more moist and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

This garlic roasted chicken and root vegetables recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The chicken is roasted to perfection with a crispy skin and juicy meat, while the vegetables are roasted until they are tender and slightly browned. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
