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.

Provided by Debi Blair McGinness

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.

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! :-)

One-pan roast chicken & potatoes image

Bring the pan straight to the table and use the juices to make a light, lemony gravy for the perfect summer roast

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 1h55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ½kg medium chicken
6 lemons , halved
4 rosemary sprigs
2 onions , quartered
9 garlic cloves
1 tbsp thyme leaves, chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
500g baby new potatoes , halved
3 lemon thyme sprigs

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Stuff the chicken cavity with 2 lemon halves, 2 rosemary sprigs, 4 onion quarters and some seasoning. Put the chicken into a large roasting tray.
  • Crush 3 garlic cloves, then add to a small bowl with the thyme leaves and olive oil, mix, then rub this all over the chicken with some seasoning.
  • Arrange the potatoes around the chicken with the rest of the lemons and onions, rosemary and whole garlic cloves, and lemon thyme. Cook in the oven for 1 hr 20 mins, turning the potatoes in the pan once or twice. To check if the chicken is cooked, pierce the thigh with a skewer and the juices should run clear.
  • Remove the chicken from the tray and place on a serving dish or board to rest for 15-20 mins. As you lift the chicken, let any juices pour back into the tray. Increase oven temperature to 200C/ 180C fan/gas 6 and cook the potatoes for a further 10-15 mins or until tender.
  • If you want gravy, use a slotted spoon to remove the potatoes from the tray to a serving bowl, then use a potato masher to mash all the juices, lemons, herbs and garlic together in the roasting tray, adding a splash of water if it's too pulpy. Push this mix through a sieve, taste the gravy and add some more seasoning if you need to. Bring everything into the garden so everyone can help themselves.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH ONIONS AND PARSLEY



Roast Chicken With Onions And Parsley image

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, roasts, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings or more

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 cups chopped fresh parsley or chervil leaves
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large chicken or capon, about 6 pounds, trimmed of excess fat
3 tablespoons butter or extra virgin olive oil
3 cups thinly sliced onions
1 cup chicken or vegetable stock or water

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 500 degrees. Combine the lemon juice, 1/2 cup parsley, garlic and some salt and pepper, and rub this mixture all over the chicken. Put the chicken, breast side down, on a rack in a roasting pan and put the pan in the oven.
  • While it's roasting, melt the butter or heat the olive oil in a medium skillet or saucepan over medium heat, then add the onions; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the remaining parsley and the stock.
  • After the chicken has roasted for about 20 minutes, spoon some of the onion mixture over it, then turn the bird breast side up. Top with more of the onion mixture, leaving some in the saucepan. Baste again after 10 minutes; at this point the breast should be beginning to brown (if it isn't, roast a few more minutes). Turn the heat down to 325 degrees, baste again, and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 155 to 165 degrees. Total roasting time will be about an hour and a half.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, pour some or all of the pan juices into the saucepan with the remaining onion mixture and bring to a boil; reduce slightly if the mixture is thin. Carve the chicken and serve with the sauce.

Tips:

  • To ensure your chicken is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should reach 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.
  • For crispy skin, pat the chicken dry before roasting. You can also brush it with melted butter or olive oil, or sprinkle it with salt and pepper.
  • Roast the chicken on a bed of vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots, and onions. This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
  • If you want to add a crispy crust to your vegetables, toss them in a mixture of olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting.
  • Don't overcrowd the roasting pan. If the chicken and vegetables are too close together, they won't cook evenly.
  • Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Roast chicken with potatoes and onions is a classic dish that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can create a delicious and memorable meal that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a comforting and flavorful dish, give this recipe a try!
