Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 small bunch fresh thyme
Juice of 2 limes
4 cloves garlic, smashed
3 jalapeno peppers, halved, seeded and thinly sliced
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
Kosher salt
3 half chickens (about 1 1/2 pounds each)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Steps:

  • Strip the thyme leaves from the stems; combine the leaves and stems with the lime juice, garlic, jalapenos, olive oil, honey and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the chicken and turn to coat. Cover and marinate 30 minutes to 1 hour at room temperature.
  • Position a rack in the upper third of the oven; preheat to 425 degrees F. Put the chicken, skin-side up, on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet and tuck the wing tips underneath. Pour the marinade on top, season with salt and dot with the butter.
  • Roast the chicken, basting with the pan juices halfway through, until the skin is amber and a thermometer inserted into the thigh registers 160 degrees F, about 45 minutes. Transfer to a platter and top with the pan juices.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (3 to 4-pound) chicken, excess fat trimmed and giblets removed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 shallot, sliced
1 bunch fresh thyme
1 lemon, zested in large strips
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
3 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons minced shallot
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • For the chicken: Season the chicken cavity with salt and pepper, to taste. Stuff the chicken cavity with the shallot, half the thyme, and lemon zest. Set a v-rack or regular rack in a roasting pan, and brush chicken with a bit of the olive oil. Whisk the honey and remaining oil in a small bowl. Dip the remaining thyme in the mixture and use it to brush the chicken all over with the honey mixture. Season bird with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Tuck the wings under the back, cross the legs, and tie them with kitchen string. Place the chicken breast side down on the rack and roast until the back is golden brown, about 35 to 40 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and turn the chicken breast side up. Cut the string where it holds the legs together and open up the legs a bit. Baste the chicken with the pan drippings, using the thyme sprigs as a brush. Roast the chicken again until the breast is golden brown and a meat thermometer inserted in the thigh registers 170 degrees F., 20 to 25 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a carving board, and let it rest 10 minutes before carving.
  • For the sauce: Remove the rack from the roasting pan. Put the pan over medium-high heat, add the water, and stir with a wooden spoon to release the brown bits that cling to the pan. Strain the pan drippings into a small bowl and spoon off the fat. Whisk in the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, shallot, thyme, salt, and pepper to taste. Carve the chicken and serve drizzled with the sauce.

1 onion
1 dash vegetable oil
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
salt & freshly ground black pepper
4 large potatoes
50 g butter
100 ml whipping cream
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to gas mark 6/400F/200°C.

  • In a bowl, put the knob of butter and add half of the chopped thyme and the grated garlic and give it all a good mix.
  • Lift the skin of the chicken with your fingers and push the herbed butter underneath the skin (you need to be very gentle as to not tear the skin).
  • Season the chicken well inside and out.

  • Split the vanilla pod lengthways and scrape the inside with the back of a knife and mix into the warmed honey.
  • Add the remaining chopped thyme into the honey mixture.

  • Peel the onion and cut into wedges.
  • Pick the rosemary leaves and roughly chop them.
  • Toss all the vegetables in a little oil, add in the rosemary and season it well and place them in another roasting tray.
  • Cook the chicken in the centre shelf and the vegetables in the bottom shelf.
  • The vegetables will take about 30-35 minutes to cook (but the tray needs to be shaken and vegetables turned over every 15 minutes but be careful not to break them).

  • Meanwhile, to make the mash, peel the potatoes and chop them into large chunks and boil them in seasoned water until soft.
  • Mash the potatoes and add the butter and season it well.

  • Whip the cream lightly.
  • Add 2tbsp of the whipped cream into gravy in the saucepan and when it has warmed through remove from heat.

Tips:

  • Use a whole chicken: This will give you the most flavorful and juicy roasted chicken. If you don't have a whole chicken, you can use chicken breasts or thighs, but the cooking time will be shorter.
  • Dry the chicken thoroughly before roasting: This will help the skin crisp up. You can pat the chicken dry with paper towels or let it air dry for 30 minutes.
  • Season the chicken generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. You can also use a store-bought chicken rub.
  • Roast the chicken at a high temperature: This will help the skin crisp up and the meat cook evenly. The ideal roasting temperature is 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before carving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken.

Conclusion:

Honey vanilla and thyme roasted chicken is a simple yet flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of honey, vanilla, and thyme creates a unique and delicious flavor that will tantalize your taste buds. This dish is also relatively easy to make, making it a great option for busy weeknights. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy roasted chicken recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
