ROAST CHICKEN WITH VEGETABLES



Roast Chicken with Vegetables image

New cooks are intimidated by the idea of roasting a chicken, but nothing could be simpler. If you roast the chicken with some vegetables in the same pan for about an hour, you will have a moist, golden bird and savory accompaniments - all ready to eat at the same time. While they cook, you can set the table, watch the news, maybe make a dessert.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 whole carrots
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 medium-size yellow onions 4 sprigs fresh or 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
8 small white or red potatoes (about 1H inches in diameter)
1 whole chicken, about 3 1/2 pounds
3 teaspoons salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Preparing the Vegetables Peel the carrots and cut them crosswise into 1 1/2-inch-long pieces. Cut the thicker pieces in half lengthwise as well. Peel each onion and cut into quarters. Wash the potatoes under cold water to get rid of any dirt. Leave them whole and unpeeled. Scatter the carrots, onions, and potatoes on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking or roasting pan. Sprinkle 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper over them, and lay 2 sprigs of the rosemary on top. If you are using dried rosemary, put 1 tablespoon in the palm of your hand and crumble it over the vegetables.
  • Preparing the Chicken The giblets, which consist of the liver, gizzard, and heart, plus the neck, are usually in a package inside the cavity of the chicken, between the legs. Remove them and discard or refrigerate them to use later. If there is a pale-yellow chunk of fat on either side of the cavity, pull or cut it off and discard. Hold the chicken under cold running water and rinse it inside and out. Shake off excess water and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the remaining 11/2 teaspoons of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper over the outside of the chicken, rubbing them all over the skin. Set the chicken, the breast side facing up, on top of some of the vegetables, with the remaining ones surrounding the bird. Insert a dial-type (not instant-read) thermometer into the breast, taking care that the rod of the thermometer does not touch any bones.
  • Roasting the Chicken Put the chicken in the center of the oven and set the timer for 30 minutes. When the timer rings, remove the pan from the oven and, using a large spoon, turn over the vegetables that surround the chicken. Don't bother with the vegetables under the chicken. Return the pan to the oven and set the timer for 30 more minutes. After 30 minutes, take the chicken out of the oven to check for doneness. Insert the tip of a small paring knife into the meat of the thigh where it attaches to the body. If the juices that run out are pink, the chicken needs to continue cooking for another 10 to 15 minutes. If the juices are clear, it is done. The meat thermometer should show a temperature of 170 degrees F to 180 degrees F when the chicken is done.
  • Carving the Chicken Carve the chicken according to the instructions on the preceding page. Scoop the vegetables out of the roasting pan and onto a serving platter. Remove the fat from the pan juices. Arrange the cut chicken pieces on top of vegetables, spoon some pan juices over the chicken and vegetables, scatter the 2 remaining rosemary sprigs on top and bring the dish to the table for serving.

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.

  • Choose the right chicken: For best results, select a whole chicken weighing between 3 and 4 pounds. If using chicken breasts or thighs, adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Prep the vegetables: Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces so they cook evenly. Vegetables that take longer to cook, such as carrots and potatoes, should be cut into smaller pieces.
  • Season generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and herbs to flavor the chicken and vegetables. You can also add a drizzle of olive oil or melted butter for extra richness.
  • Roast at high temperature: Roasting the chicken and vegetables at a high temperature (400°F or higher) will help to caramelize the vegetables and give the chicken a crispy skin.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Make sure there is enough space between the chicken and vegetables so that they can cook evenly. If the pan is too crowded, the vegetables will steam instead of roast.
  • Roast until the chicken is cooked through: The chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. You can check the temperature using a meat thermometer.
  • Let the chicken and vegetables rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat and vegetables, making them more tender and flavorful.
