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.

Steps:
- 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.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Combine melted butter and saffron in a small bowl. Pour over chicken to cover, and season with salt and pepper. Stuff chicken with lemon slices garlic. Tie the chicken legs with kitchen string and tuck legs underneath.

Continue to roast until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- 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.

Steps:
- Pat the chickens dry inside and out. Generously season the skin and cavity of each with salt and pepper. Refrigerate, uncovered, at least 4 hours and up to overnight to dry out the skin.
- Let the chickens stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before roasting. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Mash the butter with the chopped thyme and rosemary in a small bowl. Gently slide your fingers under the skin on the breasts and legs of each chicken to loosen . Scoop some of the herbed butter with a spoon, slide the spoon under the skin on one chicken and hold the skin in place while you remove the spoon. Smooth the skin to distribute the butter; repeat with more butter if needed. Repeat with the second chicken and remaining herbed butter.
- Squeeze the juice of a lemon half into the cavity of each chicken, then stuff the lemon half inside. Stuff 3 cloves garlic, 1/2 onion, 1 thyme sprig and 1/2 rosemary sprig into each chicken cavity. Tie the legs together with twine. Put the chickens on a baking sheet next to each other.
- Toss the parsnip, potato, squash, olive oil and a large pinch of salt in a bowl, then add the vegetables to the baking sheet, scattering them around the chickens. Roast until the chickens are golden brown and a instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F, about 1 hour. Transfer the chicken and vegetables to platters and let rest about 10 minutes before carving.

PERFECT ROASTED CHICKEN AND ROOT VEGETABLES
Every time I make this recipe for the family or guests they absolutely go nuts for it! It is incredibly moist and delicious! I hope you enjoy it as well. The recipe was inspired by Emeril Lagasse and tweaked to perfection by me. You can use a chicken ranging in weight from 3 1/2 to 7+pounds. Double the amount of the paste ingredients if you make the larger bird. Cooking time will vary depending on the size of the chicken. Use as many root vegetables as you like. They can cook along with the chicken.

Tips:
- Prep is key: Make sure to wash and dry the chicken and vegetables thoroughly before cooking. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels to help the skin crisp up.
- Use a variety of herbs: The combination of rosemary, thyme, and sage in this recipe creates a delicious and aromatic flavor. Feel free to experiment with other herb combinations, such as oregano, basil, or marjoram.
- Roast the vegetables separately: Roasting the vegetables separately from the chicken helps them to cook evenly and prevents them from getting too soft.
- Use a roasting pan with a rack: This will allow the chicken to cook evenly and prevent it from sitting in its own juices.
- Baste the chicken: Basting the chicken with the pan juices helps to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Let the chicken rest before carving: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bird.
