• Roast chicken and vegetables in the preheated oven until the skin is browned and crisp, the vegetables are tender, and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh reads 165 degrees F (75 degrees C), about 1 hour and 45 minutes. Let chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving with vegetables.

• Toss chicken breasts in the same bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil, remaining salt, and Caribbean seasoning until coated. Add to baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center, juices run clear, and vegetables are tender, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Steps:

• Set your oven rack to the bottom third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Pat the inside and outside of the chicken dry with paper towel.
• Peel and finely mince one clove of garlic and add it to a small bowl along with the chopped herbs. Mash in 1 tablespoon of butter and season with salt and pepper.
• Gently separate the chicken skin from the breast meat using a spoon and divide the garlic herb butter under the skin of each breast, smoothing it to an even layer. Season the inside and outside of the chicken well with salt and pepper.
• Cut the lemon in half, peel and slice the onion into eight wedges through the root, and smash and peel one garlic clove. Stuff the lemon and garlic into the cavity of the chicken along with one wedge of onion and two sprigs of herbs. Tie the legs together with a piece of kitchen twine and tuck the wings underneath the bird, then set the chicken aside at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Transfer the remaining onion, garlic and herb sprigs to a roasting pan along with the roughly chopped vegetables. Quarter the potatoes and add it along with 2 1/2 tablespoons of oil to the pan. Season well with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
• Shake into an even layer and place the chicken on top of the vegetables. Drizzle the remaining oil over the chicken and rub it in to coat. Pour 1/4 cup of chicken broth and the white wine over the vegetables.
• Roast the chicken, uncovered, for 60 to 75 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh reads 165 degrees F and the vegetables are tender.
• Remove the chicken and the vegetables to a serving platter and tent with aluminum foil to keep warm and rest while you make the gravy.
• Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat in the roasting pan. Add the flour, whisk, and cook for 1 minute. While whisking, slowly add in the remaining 2 cups of chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the gravy reaches your desired consistency. Serve alongside the chicken and roasted vegetables.

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400º. Place whole chicken in the center of a roasting pan.
• In a large bowl, combine the sliced zucchini, squash, brussels sprouts, onions and carrots. In a small microwave-safe container, melt 2 tablespoons butter (about 45 seconds to 1 minute). Drizzle melted butter over veggies and sprinkle with generous amounts of salt and pepper. Toss veggies to coat.
• Gently soften the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter (about 10 to 15 seconds in microwave). With your hands or a pastry brush, coat the chicken with the butter. Once chicken is buttered, evenly sprinkle on the rosemary (crushing with your fingers as you sprinkle), the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne and generous amounts of salt and pepper.
• Place buttered vegetables all around the chicken (it may look like a lot, but trust me, they shrink a bit during cooking). Pour the half can of low-sodium chicken broth evenly over the vegetables, then place the roasting pan on the center rack of preheated oven and cook for 1 hour and 50 minutes to 2 hours. Slice chicken, and serve!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Combine onion, celery, carrot, garlic and fresh herbs in mixing bowl with ½ teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil until all vegetables are well-coated. Set aside.
• Remove neck and giblets from chicken and discard. Rinse chicken inside and out, and pat dry with paper towels. Rub chicken lightly with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then rub inside and out with salt, pepper, and dry rub mixture. Set aside.
• Remove wire rack from roasting pan and place upright on a solid surface. Fill the inside circle of the roasting pan with ½ cup wine or beer. Slide chicken onto wire rack, and place chicken into roasting pan so wife rack rests inside the center circle. Carefully spoon the seasoned vegetables around the chicken outside the center circle and pour the chicken broth over vegetables. Carefully transfer into the oven or onto the grill.
• Cook the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees in the breast and 180 degrees in the thigh, or until the thigh juice runs clear when stabbed with a sharp knife. Approximately 45-50 minutes. Remove and let rest for 10 minutes before carving.
