HERB-ROASTED CHICKEN

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

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.

Categories Very Low Carbs

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

Ingredients

1 whole roasting chicken
salt and black pepper
30 ml olive oil

Steps:

Take whole chicken and make diagonal slits in breast and thighs.
Rub chicken with olive oil followed by salt and pepper ensuring slits are also prepared with spice.
Place in a glass casserole dish suitable for microwave.
I use a 900 Watt combination microwave oven, program grill and microwave for 30 - 40 minutes depending on size of chicken on full power.
Turn chicken every 10 minutes to ensure even grilling.

Tips:

Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, and sage will give your chicken a more flavorful and aromatic taste.
Don't overcrowd the chicken: Make sure there is enough space between the chicken pieces so that they can cook evenly.
Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F: You can check this with a meat thermometer.
Let the chicken rest before carving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad are all great options.

Conclusion:

Herb-roasted chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and aromatic chicken that will be the star of your next meal. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight dinner, give herb-roasted chicken a try. You won't be disappointed!
