Time 2h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

Butter:
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (from 1/2 large lemon)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 large cloves garlic, minced
Chicken:
One 6 1/4-pound chicken, rinsed and patted dry
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
6 baby red potatoes, halved
4 medium carrots, peeled and halved lengthwise
2 large parsnips, peeled and quartered lengthwise
2 large shallots (about 8 ounces), peeled and halved
1 clove garlic, peeled
1/2 cup low-salt chicken broth
5 sprigs fresh rosemary
5 sprigs fresh thyme
1 lemon, quartered
Vegetables:
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack just below the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • For the butter: In a small bowl, combine the butter, rosemary, thyme, lemon juice, salt, pepper and garlic until smooth.
  • For the chicken: Tuck the wings under the chicken. Sprinkle the cavity of the chicken with salt and pepper. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the butter mixture into the cavity. Place the rosemary, thyme and lemon quarters in the cavity. Tie the legs together loosely with kitchen string. Place the chicken in a large roasting pan.
  • Starting at the neck end of the chicken, loosen the skin over the entire chicken breast. Smear the remaining butter mixture over the outside and under the skin of the chicken, being careful not to tear the skin.
  • For the vegetables: In a large bowl, toss together the oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, potatoes, carrots, parsnips, shallots and garlic.
  • Arrange the vegetables around the chicken in a single layer. Add the broth and roast until the vegetables are tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken thigh registers 160 to 165 degrees F, about 1 1/2 hours. Let the chicken rest for 20 minutes.
  • Transfer the chicken to a platter. Arrange the vegetables around the chicken. Scrape the contents of the roaster into a 4-cup measuring cup. Spoon off the layer of fat that rises to the top. Season the pan juices with salt and pepper, if needed. Serve the chicken with the pan juices.

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For the best flavor and texture, choose a free-range or organic chicken. These chickens are raised in healthier conditions and have a more natural diet, which results in better-tasting meat.
  • Use a flavorful stuffing: The stuffing is a great way to add extra flavor and moisture to your chicken. Be creative and use a variety of ingredients, such as herbs, spices, vegetables, and bread cubes.
  • Roast the chicken at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy skin and juicy meat. Make sure to preheat your oven before roasting the chicken.
  • Baste the chicken regularly: This will help to keep the chicken moist and prevent it from drying out. You can baste the chicken with butter, olive oil, or a mixture of both.
  • 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:

Roast chicken with mashed potato stuffing and root vegetables is a classic comfort food dish that is perfect for a family meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can create a roast chicken that is moist, flavorful, and sure to impress your guests.
