ROAST CHICKEN WITH POTATOES AND GARLIC



Roast Chicken with Potatoes and Garlic image

Roast the whole chicken breasts with the skin on and bone in to yield maximum flavor and juiciness, but remove the skin before eating for a lighter meal.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 one-and-a-half-pound whole chicken breasts, bone in and skin on
3 pounds mixed small potatoes, such as red new potatoes, Yukon gold, and fingerling
1 head garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Rosemary springs for garnish
Olive-oil, cooking spray

Steps:

  • Let the chicken breasts stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. Heat oven to 400 degrees with two racks centered. Lightly spray two 14-by-12-inch roasting or jelly-roll pans with cooking spray. The potatoes may be peeled or not, as desired. If the potatoes are larger than 1 1/2 inches in diameter, cut them into 1 1/2- to 2-inch chunks.
  • Separate garlic head into cloves. Divide potatoes and garlic cloves between roasting pans. Drizzle potatoes and garlic in each pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Lightly toss potatoes and garlic until they are covered with oil. Place one whole chicken breast, skin-side up, in one pan. Place remaining two whole breasts in the other pan, skinsides up. Sprinkle ingredients in each pan with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Roast for 30 minutes. Rotate pans in oven, and use a spatula to turn potatoes for even browning. Continue to cook 20 to 25 minutes, until chicken skin is crisp and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the breast meat reads 180 degrees. Don't touch any bones with thermometer; bones conduct heat and will give a false reading.
  • To serve, divide the potatoes evenly between six plates with a few cloves of roasted garlic for each person. Use a sharp knife to remove each half of breast meat from the bone. Remove skin from each serving before eating. Garnish with rosemary sprigs.

GARLIC ROASTED CHICKEN AND POTATOES



Garlic Roasted Chicken and Potatoes image

I've been making this recipe for so many years, I can't remember where I got it from. It's really quick to throw together. After fixing it several times, my husband 'discovered' that you were supposed to spread the garlic on the chicken. It's one of his favorites now. This recipe is very easy to adjust up or down. Just make sure your pan is big enough if adjusting up. I usually add more potatoes, since we like them. Serve with a mixed greens salad.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Thigh Recipes

Time 1h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

¼ cup butter
6 chicken leg quarters, split into drumsticks and thighs
6 large Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into chunks
24 cloves garlic, unpeeled
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup maple syrup

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place the butter into a roasting pan, and melt in the oven. When butter is melted, swirl to coat the bottom of the roasting pan, and place the chicken drumsticks and thighs, potatoes, and unpeeled garlic cloves into the pan. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper; turn the chicken, potatoes, and garlic to coat with butter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink inside and the juices run clear, about 40 minutes, basting 3 times with pan drippings. Brush maple syrup over the chicken pieces, and spoon pan drippings over the potatoes.
  • Return to oven, and bake until the chicken and potatoes are tender and browned, about 20 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into a thick part of a thigh should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). To serve, squeeze garlic from the baked cloves, and spread the soft garlic over the chicken. Pour pan juices over chicken and potatoes.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH GREEN GARLIC, HERBS AND POTATOES



Roast Chicken With Green Garlic, Herbs and Potatoes image

Green garlic has a distinct green, grassy garlicky character that is pungent but not overpowering. After an initial peeling of the outer layer, both green and white parts of the stalk can be used, and if you cannot find green garlic, a combination of scallion and garlic chives will make for a reasonable substitute. Roasting the potatoes under the chicken means they catch the infused drippings, ensuring big flavor in this simple yet complete dinner.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     dinner, poultry, vegetables, main course

Time 3h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (3- to 4-pound) roasting chicken
Salt and pepper
3 pounds medium yellow-fleshed potatoes, such as Yukon Gold (about 8 potatoes)
4 to 6 green garlic stalks, or use a combination of scallion and garlic chives
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Handful of thyme, rosemary and sage sprigs
1/2 cup roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Season chicken inside and out with salt and pepper.
  • Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Peel the potatoes, cut them in half, then cut halves into 2 or 3 thick wedges. Boil potatoes for about 5 minutes, until barely done, then drain and cool.
  • As potatoes cool, peel outer layer of garlic stalks and cut off roots. Slice both tender white and green parts crosswise into thin rings, then sprinkle with salt and roughly chop to resemble "minced." (You should have about 1 cup of chopped alliums, whether you use green garlic, or a combination of scallions and chives.) Transfer chopped garlic to a dish and cover with olive oil.
  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Arrange potatoes on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Set the seasoned chicken on top of the potatoes. Tip the chicken up and transfer the garlic-oil mixture into the bird's cavity, then place breast side down, with potatoes surrounding.
  • Take a generous handful of herb sprigs (stem-on) and stuff into the cavity.
  • Roast, uncovered, for about 1 hour until chicken is nicely browned and thigh juices run clear when probed with a paring knife. Remove chicken, tipping the inside juices onto the potatoes, and keep warm on a plate.
  • Raise oven temperature to 425 degrees. Using a spatula, move the potatoes around the roasting pan, allowing juices to coat potatoes well. Return to oven to brown potatoes. Baste potatoes every 5 minutes for 15 minutes, or until potatoes are golden. Sprinkle with parsley. Carve bird and serve.

HEAVENLY HOME-STYLE ROASTED WHOLE CHICKEN AND POTATOES



Heavenly Home-Style Roasted Whole Chicken and Potatoes image

I consider this recipe to be one of my best "stand-by's!" It is a great "stand-by" recipe for family-friendly meals; to throw together as an easy one-pot meal for any occasion; for unexpected company; for easy weekend meal prep that allows for delicious leftovers all week; for a potluck, or to take to a family who is sick or in need; or for guest-worthy dinner parties (because it is so easy to make,so that the chef can enjoy the festivities, too). It is just a great and easy recipe that can be thrown together on a moment's notice! There are a million baked/roasted chicken recipes out there, but I like this one because it allows the chicken and potatoes to roast to a perfect crisp (yet so tender on the inside); the chicken turns out incredibly moist (thanks to the decadant butter); and the spices and garlic create a flavor-rich dish. I prefer to make it with butter or high quaility spread, but you can use olive oil in place of the butter, if you prefer. An added bonus to this recipe is that it will make your house smell heavenly, while it cooks. Mmmmm - good! :-)

Tips:

  • Choose a roasting chicken that is about 4-5 pounds in size. This will ensure that it cooks evenly and doesn't dry out.
  • Pat the chicken dry with paper towels before roasting. This will help the skin get crispy.
  • Season the chicken generously with salt, pepper, and any other desired herbs or spices. You can also rub the chicken with butter or olive oil before roasting.
  • Roast the chicken at a high temperature (425 degrees Fahrenheit) for 30 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and continue roasting for 1-1.5 hours, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • While the chicken is roasting, toss the potatoes and garlic in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the potatoes and garlic around the chicken in the roasting pan and continue roasting until the potatoes are tender and browned, about 30-45 minutes.
  • Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
