ROASTED CHICKEN WITH CELERY ROOT AND ONION



Roasted Chicken with Celery Root and Onion image

A pinch of red-pepper flakes livens up wedges of mellow celery root. Roasting the vegetables alongside the chicken means they cook in the drippings-no oil required.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 whole chicken (3 1/2 to 4 pounds), patted dry
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 large red onion, cut into 1/2-inch wedges, root end left intact
1 medium celery root (about 1 pound), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
4 teaspoons lemon zest, plus 4 teaspoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Season chicken inside and out with salt and pepper. Tuck wing tips underneath chicken and tie legs together with kitchen twine. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and roast 20 minutes.
  • Remove sheet from oven and arrange onion and celery root around chicken, turning to coat with drippings. Top vegetables with red-pepper flakes and season with salt and pepper. Roast until vegetables are tender and juices run clear when chicken is pierced between breast and leg (an instant-read thermometer should read 165 degrees when inserted into the thickest part of a thigh, avoiding bone), about 30 minutes, flipping vegetables halfway through. Let chicken rest 10 minutes before carving. To serve, sprinkle chicken and vegetables with lemon zest and juice.

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.

Categories     Soup/Stew     Chicken     Garlic     Poultry     Vegetable     Braise     Quick & Easy     Fall     Winter     Thyme     Simmer     Gourmet

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 lb chicken parts such as breasts and thighs (with skin and bone) and drumsticks
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 celery root (sometimes called celeriac; 1 1/4 lb), peeled with a sharp knife and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
1 head garlic, cloves separated and left unpeeled
1 1/4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth (10 fl oz)
2 fresh thyme sprigs
Accompaniment: crusty bread
Garnish: fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Pat chicken dry and sprinkle all over with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown chicken, starting skin sides down, turning over once, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from skillet.
  • Add butter to skillet and heat over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then sauté celery root and garlic, stirring frequently, until celery root is browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Add broth and thyme and deglaze skillet by boiling, stirring and scraping up any brown bits, 1 minute. Return chicken, skin sides up, to skillet along with any juices accumulated on plate, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, until chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes for white meat, about 25 minutes for dark meat. Transfer chicken to a serving bowl as cooked and keep warm, loosely covered with foil.
  • When all chicken pieces are done cooking, transfer sauce and vegetables to bowl with chicken, discarding thyme.

ROASTED CELERY ROOT WITH CUMIN AND PARSLEY



Roasted Celery Root with Cumin and Parsley image

Roasting celery root brings out a sweetness that helps balance some of its trademark earthy bite. The longer you cook it the sweeter it gets. Be wary when using older, cellared celery root, as they tend to be drier, thus requiring longer cooking times than fresher ones in season or at a farmer's market. If you have pomegranate seeds available, a small handful would add some crunch and color to this side dish.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1 large celery root (about 2 1/2 pounds)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 small red onion
1 cup fresh parsley leaves, loosely packed

Steps:

  • Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and put a baking sheet inside. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Lightly chop the cumin seeds and add to a medium bowl. Trim the ends off the celery root, then peel and discard the exterior. Cut the root into 3/4-inch-thick planks and then into 3/4-inch cubes. Toss the cubes in the bowl with the cumin seeds, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
  • Halve the red onion and thinly slice. Remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and spread the cubes in an even layer. Add the onion slices to the bowl the celery root was in and coat with the residual oil and seasonings. Arrange the onions on top of the celery root and put back into the oven to roast. (If the onions are in contact with the pan for the entire cooking time, they could get too dark or burn.)
  • When the cubes begin to brown on the bottom, about 15 minutes, toss the vegetables around, scattering the onions around the pan and flatten again into one layer. Continue to roast until the vegetables are very soft when pierced with a knife, about 10 minutes more. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before tossing with the parsley leaves and a drizzle of olive oil.

PERFECT ROASTED CHICKEN AND ROOT VEGETABLES



Perfect Roasted Chicken and Root Vegetables image

Every time I make this recipe for the family or guests they absolutely go nuts for it! It is incredibly moist and delicious! I hope you enjoy it as well. The recipe was inspired by Emeril Lagasse and tweaked to perfection by me. You can use a chicken ranging in weight from 3 1/2 to 7+pounds. Double the amount of the paste ingredients if you make the larger bird. Cooking time will vary depending on the size of the chicken. Use as many root vegetables as you like. They can cook along with the chicken.

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.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH ROOT VEGETABLES, ROSEMARY, AND GARLIC



Roast Chicken With Root Vegetables, Rosemary, and Garlic image

There is something so very comforting about roasting a chicken. Not just the wonderful savory aromas and flavors, but the whole process of prepping the vegetables, rinsing the beautiful little chicken, trussing it, tucking its wings under, mincing the rosemary and the garlic--the whole process is so centering and kind of Zen. This recipe is based on one that I found on Saveur.com. However, I vary it so much that what is here is more my recipe. But that is the art of cooking, changing it around, quoting Emeril, "kicking it up a notch," to make it our own. I love a small organic chicken, under 4 pounds, but then some people prefer a larger one for roasting. The beauty of this recipe is that you can use any type of root vegetables you have on hand.And instead of the mild red chiles I prefer, you can use bell peppers. Also any type of winter squash, but for something different, try a Kobacha squash, as the Saveur recipe uses.The Saveur recipe also uses celery hearts instead of fennel.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 2h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (3 1/2 lb) whole chickens, rinsed, giblets and neck reserved and liver saved for another use
10 rosemary sprigs
2 -3 heads garlic, separated into whole cloves, with cloves peeled
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons duck fat (optional)
1/2 winter squash, of your choice seeded peeled, cut into 2 inch pieces (Acorn, Delicatta, Butternut) or 1/2 kabocha squash, available all seasons
10 new potatoes, quartered lengthwise
10 cipollini onions
1 red onion, cut into 8 pieces, leaving pieces attached at the base
2 leeks, white part only cut in half lengthwise in 3 inch lengths
1 fennel bulbs, core removed, sliced into thin half-moons, reserving fronds or 2 celery hearts, cut into 3 inch lengths
6 fresno chile pepper
1 cup chicken stock
1/4 bunch Italian parsley, washed and roughly chopped
1/2 cup butter, cut into 8 pieces and well-chilled
1/2 lemon, juice of

Steps:

  • Rinse chicken under cold running water and pat dry, inside and out. Reserve the giblets for making stock and save liver for another use.
  • Salt and pepper cavity of chicken generously. Place 6 (or more) of the garlic cloves and 3--4 sprigs of rosemary in the cavity, then truss legs together.
  • Mince 6 cloves of garlic and mash into a paste with Kosher salt.
  • Finely mince 4 sprigs of rosemary and combine with garlic paste.
  • Combine the rosemary and garlic paste with about 1/4 cup of olive oil in a gallon sealable plastic bag and place trussed chicken in the bag. Massage the minced rosemary and garlic paste into the chicken and refrigerate overnight or longer.
  • When ready to prepare, let chicken come to room temperature at least 1/2 hour before baking.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Prepare vegetables: If using leeks, blanche them for 30 seconds, then rinse with cold water. If using celery hearts, leave them in 2--3 inch lengths. (I don't always use the leeks). Cut chilies in half lengthwise, removing core and seeds. Reserve some of the veggie stalks and trimmings to use in stock. If using Cippollini onions, blanch them, rinse under cold water and peel the outer papery layer and some of the base, leaving enough base to hold the little onion intact.
  • If you are using stock from a box, finely mince 1 clove garlic. Using a small saucepan, saute garlic in a small amount of olive oil. Then add 1 cup of the chicken stock and 1 sprig of rosemary and reduce to 1/2 cup. Remove the rosemary sprig. This will be the base for the parsley butter sauce.
  • OR prepare your own chicken stock: To prepare your chicken stock, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a saucepan and brown chicken neck, heart, and gizzard. (Save liver for another use). Once giblets have browned add 2 cups of water and vegetable trimmings, i.e. fennel fronds, a slice of onion, and a sprig of parsley. Add salt and pepper to taste. Continue cooking the stock until reduced to 1 cup. Meanwhile finely mince 1 clove of garlic. Once stock has reduced by half, strain out chicken giblets and vegetable trimmings. Clean the saucepan and heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then and saute the garlic. Return stock to the pan with the garlic and add a sprig of rosemary. Continue to reduce to 1/2 cup and remove the rosemary sprig. This will be reduced further to only a few tablespoons when preparing the parsley-butter sauce.
  • Mince additional 4 cloves of garlic with another 4 sprigs of rosemary.
  • Place cippolinni onions, red onion, sliced fennel, (or celery hearts), squash, chiles, and any remaining garlic cloves on a large baking tray and toss with 3/4 of the minced garlic and rosemary and 1/4 cup of olive oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. If you would rather not roast your potatoes in duck fat, toss with the vegetables in olive oil.
  • In a separate bowl, toss potatoes with remainder of minced garlic and rosemary and add salt and pepper.
  • Place vegetables in tray in the lower rack of the oven.
  • Remove chicken from bag and and sprinkle with generous amounts of pepper and another sprinkling of salt. Place chicken directly on oven rack above the roasting vegetables.
  • Place duck fat in a separate smaller roasting pan and heat in oven for a few minutes. Once hot, add in the quartered potatoes and roast next to chicken which is roasting over the vegetables.
  • While chicken is roasting prepare the parsley butter sauce: Add in juice of 1/2 lemon to 1/2 cup of chicken stock and continue to reduce until only 2--3 tablespoons remain. Then begin whisking in the chilled butter pieces, one piece at a time, making sure that each piece is incorporated before adding another. After all butter has been whisked in, add in chopped parsley. Keep warm.
  • Continue to roast the chicken until its internal temp is 165 F., probably about 45 - 50 minutes. It depends on the size of your chicken. If your chicken is done, the juices draining from your chicken should be clear, not pink.
  • Remove chicken to a carving board allow to stand for 20 minutes.
  • Increase oven temperature to 425°F and continue to roast the vegetables until done, about 10 or 15 more minutes. Place cooked vegetables and duck-fat roasted potatoes on a large serving platter.
  • After chicken has rested, carve into serving pieces and arrange over the roasted vegetables on the platter.
  • Serve with the parsley butter sauce and enjoy.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Chicken: Opt for a free-range or organic chicken for better flavor and texture.
  • Prep the Vegetables: Cut the celery root and onion into uniform pieces for even cooking.
  • Season Generously: Don't be shy with the salt and pepper. Season the chicken and vegetables liberally before roasting.
  • Roast at High Heat: Start the chicken at a high temperature to get a crispy skin, then reduce the heat to finish cooking the meat thoroughly.
  • Roast uncovered: Roasting the chicken uncovered allows the skin to crisp up and the vegetables to caramelize.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer: To ensure the chicken is cooked through, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh. It should register 165°F (74°C).
  • Rest the Chicken: Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute for a more tender and flavorful meat.

Conclusion:

This roasted chicken with celery root and onion is a simple yet elegant dish that showcases the natural flavors of the ingredients. The combination of crispy chicken skin, tender meat, and caramelized vegetables makes for a satisfying and memorable meal. For best results, follow the tips provided in this recipe.
