Tips:
- Use a whole chicken: Roasting a whole chicken is more flavorful and economical than using chicken breasts or thighs. Plus, you can use the leftover chicken for sandwiches, salads, or soup.
- Dry the chicken thoroughly: This will help the skin crisp up. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels before roasting.
- Use a flavorful marinade or rub: This will help add flavor to the chicken. You can use a store-bought marinade or rub, or make your own. For a simple marinade, combine olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and thyme in a bowl. For a dry rub, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt in a bowl.
- Roast the chicken at a high temperature: This will help the skin crisp up and the chicken cook through quickly. Roast the chicken at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add vegetables to the roasting pan: This is a great way to get a healthy side dish with your chicken. Add your favorite vegetables to the roasting pan, such as potatoes, carrots, onions, or broccoli.
- Let the chicken rest before carving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender. Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
Conclusion:
Garlic roasted chicken and vegetables is a delicious and easy weeknight meal. It's perfect for a family dinner or a casual gathering with friends. The chicken is moist and flavorful, and the vegetables are roasted to perfection. Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
