Chicken With Root Vegetables Recipes

Steps:

• Position an oven rack just below the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the butter: In a small bowl, combine the butter, rosemary, thyme, lemon juice, salt, pepper and garlic until smooth.
• For the chicken: Tuck the wings under the chicken. Sprinkle the cavity of the chicken with salt and pepper. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the butter mixture into the cavity. Place the rosemary, thyme and lemon quarters in the cavity. Tie the legs together loosely with kitchen string. Place the chicken in a large roasting pan.
• Starting at the neck end of the chicken, loosen the skin over the entire chicken breast. Smear the remaining butter mixture over the outside and under the skin of the chicken, being careful not to tear the skin.
• For the vegetables: In a large bowl, toss together the oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, potatoes, carrots, parsnips, shallots and garlic.
• Arrange the vegetables around the chicken in a single layer. Add the broth and roast until the vegetables are tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken thigh registers 160 to 165 degrees F, about 1 1/2 hours. Let the chicken rest for 20 minutes.
• Transfer the chicken to a platter. Arrange the vegetables around the chicken. Scrape the contents of the roaster into a 4-cup measuring cup. Spoon off the layer of fat that rises to the top. Season the pan juices with salt and pepper, if needed. Serve the chicken with the pan juices.

Steps:

• Wash the chicken and pat dry. Poke it with a toothpick all over about 40 times. Season with salt and put in the refrigerator to chill for 8 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Combine melted butter and saffron in a small bowl. Pour over chicken to cover, and season with salt and pepper. Stuff chicken with lemon slices garlic. Tie the chicken legs with kitchen string and tuck legs underneath.
• Lay carrots, fennel, and onion at the bottom of a roasting pan and rest the chicken on top.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Spoon the juices from the chicken over the vegetables. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Continue to roast until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Remove from the oven and cover with aluminum foil; let sit for 15 to 30 minutes before serving to allow the chicken to absorb all the juices.

Steps:

• Put the carrots, parsnips and onions in the bottom of a big roasting pan. Season with salt and pepper, and add to that the 1/2 cup of chicken broth.
• Then, remove the contents from the cavity of the chicken.
• Slice the top off of the whole head of garlic, and put that, the halved lemon, and the whole bunch of thyme inside the cavity. Truss the legs of the chicken.
• Season the outside of the chicken with olive oil, salt and pepper.
• Place the chicken on top of the vegetables in the roasting pan, fold the wings underneath the bird.
• Put the pan into a 400-degree oven for an hour and fifteen minutes -- at that point, check to see if the chicken's done (slice the wing, the juices should run clear). Add more time if needed.
• Let rest for 10-15 minutes, carve and serve with the roasted vegetables.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the chicken on a rimmed baking pan.
• In a small bowl, stir to combine the olive oil, chopped rosemary, thyme, sage, red pepper flakes, grated garlic, lemon zest, 1 tablespoon salt and 2 teaspoons black pepper. Rub the chicken all over with half of the herb oil, being sure to spread some under the skin of the breasts and thighs to season the flesh. Stuff the cavity with the rosemary, thyme and sage sprigs, the bay leaves, 1/2 lemon and garlic head halves.
• Place the rutabaga, carrots and turnips in a large bowl. Toss to coat with the remaining herb oil. Scatter the vegetables around the chicken and transfer to the oven. Roast until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through, with an instant-read thermometer inserted at the thickest point of the thigh reading 160 degrees F, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before carving. Serve with the vegetables.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. Combine salt, pepper, rosemary and thyme. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Sprinkle half the seasoning mixture over chicken breasts. Add to skillet; cook until golden brown, 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside. Add wine and 2 tablespoons honey to pan; cook 2-3 minutes, stirring to loosen browned bits., Combine sweet potatoes, carrots and fennel in a microwave-safe bowl. Add remaining olive oil, seasonings and honey to vegetables; stir to combine. Microwave, covered, until potatoes are just tender, 10 minutes. , Transfer vegetables to a shallow roasting pan. Add chicken stock, wine mixture and bay leaves; top vegetables with chicken. Roast until a thermometer inserted in chicken reads 165°, 25-30 minutes. Discard bay leaves. Serve with vegetables and sauce.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees with a rack in the lower third of the oven. On a sheet pan, combine the chicken, ginger and 2 tablespoons of the chopped dill. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon lime zest over the mixture, then toss with your hands to combine. Add the root vegetables, olive oil, 2 teaspoons salt and a few generous grinds of pepper. Toss to coat, then arrange in an even layer.
• Roast until the vegetables are soft and caramelized and the chicken is cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes. (Check the mixture halfway through cooking; if some vegetables are browning too quickly, give them a stir.) If you want the chicken more browned, run the pan under the broiler for a few minutes.
• Drizzle the tahini over the sheet pan and let sit, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining dill, as well as the red-pepper flakes and sesame seeds as desired. Cut one of the limes into wedges for squeezing over. (Refrigerate the other for another use.)

Steps:

• Cut meat off chicken and dice. Place both carcasses, 5 quarts water, halved onion, whole garlic cloves, carrot chunks, celery chunks, 2 bay leaves, parsley sprigs, thyme sprigs, and allspice in 8-to 10-quart pot. Bring to boil. Reduce heat. Simmer 1 1/4 hours.

• Mix the squash, carrots, parnsips and onion in a bowl with the remaining oil, lemon zest and plenty of ground black pepper, and toss together well.
• Take the chicken out of the oven and put on a plate. Scatter the vegetables into the tin, nestling the garlic cloves underneath, then put the chicken on top. Return to the oven for a further 45 mins, turning the veg after 20 mins until the chicken is cooked and the vegetables are tender and lightly browned.
• Take the chicken out and place on a warmed platter. Cover with foil and leave to rest for 10 mins. Cook the spinach in a saucepan with a drizzle of water, and season with black pepper. Scatter the vegetables around the chicken and serve with the spinach. Squeeze the garlic out of the skins and smear over the chicken, if you like.

• Nestle the chicken, skin side up, among the vegetables.
• Roast, occasionally scraping up and turning the vegetables with a metal spatula, until the vegetables are tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chicken breasts reads 170°, about 35 minutes.
• Transfer the chicken and vegetables to a platter.
• If the chicken is tender before the vegetables are done, tent the chicken with foil, then continue roasting the vegetables.
• In either case, tent the platter while making the pan sauce.
• Place the roasting pan over 2 burners on high heat.
• Add the broth and bring to a boil, scraping up the browned bits in the bottom and sides of the pan.

Stir into liquid in pot. Simmer until thickened to sauce consistency, about 5 minutes. Return chicken and vegetables to pot. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cool slightly, then refrigerate uncovered until cold. Cover and keep refrigerated.) Bring stew to simmer, stirring gently. Add remaining 2 tablespoons marjoram and serve.
