Number Of Ingredients 6

1 whole chicken, washed and dried
4-6 medium red-skinned potatoes
4-6 large carrots, peeled
1 stick butter, melted
salt and seasoned pepper to taste
smokey paprika

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325 ° HINT: I roast in Cast Iron in my Dutch Oven, Kettle or Chicken Fryer because it the even heat cooks so well, and because it imparts an amazing flavor to foods.
  • 2. Do not cut up chicken...leave it whole! Wash inside and out of chicken, remove any remaining feathers, then pat dry with paper towel
  • 3. Season chicken well with salt and seasoned pepper, inside and out. Place breast side up on trivet in Dutch oven. Sprinkle with Sprinkle liberally with Smokey Paprika.
  • 4. Surround chicken with vegetables. Drizzle with melted butter. Season with salt and seasoned pepper. Do NOT add liquid! Place lid on Dutch Oven.
  • 5. Just before leaving for church, place Dutch oven in oven . WHen you return, check chicken for doneness- legs will come away easily from the sockets when done and juices will be clear. Allow to stand 15 minutes in covered Dutch Oven before carving.
  • 6. After sitting for 15 minutes, remove bird and veggies to platter. Return pot with juices to stovetop. (Juices will be highly concentrated) Thicken with flour or cornstarch and bring to a rolling boil. ( Gravy will not reach its full thickness until it boils. ) If too thick, thin with chicken broth.

Tips for Perfect Roast Chicken:

  • Choose the Right Chicken: Opt for a free-range or organic chicken for better flavor and texture.
  • Prep the Chicken: Remove giblets and excess fat, rinse and pat dry. Season the cavity with salt, pepper, and herbs like thyme or rosemary.
  • Trussing the Chicken: Trussing helps the chicken cook evenly. Tie the legs together and tuck the wings under the body.
  • Seasoning the Outside: Generously season the outside of the chicken with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
  • Use Aromatics: Place aromatics like garlic, onion, and lemon wedges inside the chicken cavity to enhance flavor.
  • Roast at High Temperature: Start by roasting the chicken at a high temperature (425°F) for 15-20 minutes to brown the skin. Then, reduce the temperature to 350°F to finish cooking.
  • Baste the Chicken: Baste the chicken with its own juices or a mixture of melted butter and herbs every 20-30 minutes to keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Rest Before Carving: After roasting, let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful meat.
