Roasted Herb Chicken And Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Cut potatoes in half lengthwise; cut each piece crosswise into 1/2-inch thick slices. Place with onion in large, shallow foil-lined baking pan. Combine next 7 ingredients; drizzle 1 Tbsp. mixture over potato mixture and toss until evenly coated.
• Discard giblets and neck from chicken. Rinse chicken under cold running water; drain and pat dry. Place chicken, breast side up, in center of pan, moving potatoes aside. Brush chicken, including cavity, thoroughly with soy sauce mixture.
• Roast in 375 degrees F oven about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until meat thermometer inserted into thickest part not touching bone registers 180 degrees F, brushing chicken with soy sauce mixture every 30 minutes and stirring vegetables. Remove from oven; let chicken stand 10 minutes before carving. Serve with potatoes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Rinse the chicken with cool water, inside and out, then pat it dry with paper towels. Season the cavity with salt and pepper, and then stuff the lemon, garlic, and herbs inside. Place the chicken, breast-side up, in a roasting pan. Tie the legs of the chicken together with kitchen twine to help hold its shape. Toss the potatoes around the chicken. Season the whole thing with a fair amount of salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Roast the chicken and potatoes for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Don't forget to baste the chicken with the drippings and rotate the pan every 20 minutes or so to insure a golden crispy skin. The chicken is done when an instant-read thermometer says 165 degrees F when inserted into the thickest part of the thigh (the legs of the chicken should wiggle easily from the sockets too.) Remove the chicken to a platter and let stand for 10 minutes, so the juices settle back into the meat before carving. Serve with the roasted potatoes on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Remove and discard giblets and neck from chicken. Rinse chicken with cold water; pat dry. Trim excess fat. Starting at neck cavity, loosen skin from breast and drumsticks by inserting fingers, gently pushing between skin and meat.
• Combine 2 tablespoons chopped oregano and garlic cloves. Rub seasoning mixture under loosened chicken skin and drumsticks. Carefully place basil leaves under loosened skin. Tie ends of legs with cord. Lift wing tips up and over back; tuck under chicken.
• Place chicken, breast side up, on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Pierce skin several times with a meat fork. Arrange potatoes on rack around chicken. Coat the chicken and potatoes with cooking spray. Sprinkle the chicken and potatoes with 1 tablespoon oregano, salt, and pepper. Insert a meat thermometer into the meaty part of thigh, making sure not to touch bone.
• Bake at 450 degrees for 30 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees (do not remove chicken from oven); bake an additional 45 minutes or until thermometer registers 180 degrees. Cover chicken loosely with foil; let stand 10 minutes. Discard skin. Remove chicken from pan; place on a serving platter. Serve with roasted potatoes.

Steps:

• Whisk together oil, mustard, vinegar, and herbs.
• Season to taste with a bit of salt & pepper and a large pinch or two of brown sugar.
• Cut lemon in half, zest that half and reserve; juice the same lemon half and add juice to marinade.
• Place chicken in a non-metal dish and pour marinade on top to coat.
• Cut the other whole lemon into halves and add three lemon halves to the chicken, marinate for several hours in the fridge, or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
• Cut a thin slice of of the top of each garlic head, exposing the cloves.
• Drain marinade into a large roasting pan (big enough to also hold chicken later on) and add potatoes and garlic heads, tossing to coat then making sure the garlic heads are sitting upright again- roast for 20-30 minutes.
• Set chicken chicken on top, scraping in any remaining bits of rosemary, lemons, etc.
• Using tongs, toss to mix with veggies, then make sure chicken is skin side up (and garlic heads are upright again).
• Season well with salt & pepper (be generous), to taste.
• Roast for another 45-60 minutes or until potatoes are cooked and chicken is golden and crisp, fully cooked through, and juices ruin clear, garlic is mushy.
• Combine the reserved lemon zest and parsley and sprinkle over the chicken.
• Serve immediately, telling guests to squeeze out the garlic and then spread with a knife onto the chicken pieces and potatoes as desired.

Steps:

• Season chicken inside and out with salt and pepper.
• Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Peel the potatoes, cut them in half, then cut halves into 2 or 3 thick wedges. Boil potatoes for about 5 minutes, until barely done, then drain and cool.
• As potatoes cool, peel outer layer of garlic stalks and cut off roots. Slice both tender white and green parts crosswise into thin rings, then sprinkle with salt and roughly chop to resemble "minced." (You should have about 1 cup of chopped alliums, whether you use green garlic, or a combination of scallions and chives.) Transfer chopped garlic to a dish and cover with olive oil.
• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Arrange potatoes on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Set the seasoned chicken on top of the potatoes. Tip the chicken up and transfer the garlic-oil mixture into the bird's cavity, then place breast side down, with potatoes surrounding.
• Take a generous handful of herb sprigs (stem-on) and stuff into the cavity.
• Roast, uncovered, for about 1 hour until chicken is nicely browned and thigh juices run clear when probed with a paring knife. Remove chicken, tipping the inside juices onto the potatoes, and keep warm on a plate.
• Raise oven temperature to 425 degrees. Using a spatula, move the potatoes around the roasting pan, allowing juices to coat potatoes well. Return to oven to brown potatoes. Baste potatoes every 5 minutes for 15 minutes, or until potatoes are golden. Sprinkle with parsley. Carve bird and serve.

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 400.
• Unwrap chicken, remove giblets (if needed), wash, and pat semi-dry.
• Spread 1 tbs butter on the bottom of shallow roasting pan.
• Place whole chicken in roasting pan, breast side up.
• Sprinkle liberally with salt.
• Spread remaining butter all over chicken.
• Sprinkle with black pepper, lemon pepper, and paparika to taste. Sprinkle with rosemary.
• Add potatoes to pan, surrounding the chicken.
• Spinkle potatoes with salt, pepper, and small amount of rosemary.
• Drizzle potatoes with olive oil.
• Place pan in oven and bake chicken and potatoes for 20 minutes.
• Remove from oven.
• Toss potatoes to turn.
• Add 1 cup water to the pan.
• Add chopped carrots and onion to pan.
• Sprinkle minced garlic over veggies and chicken.
• Drizzle carrots and onion with olive oil.
• Place pan back in oven.
• Bake for an additional 45 mins until chicken is brown and crispy, and potatoes are nicely roasted.
• Remove from oven, allowing chicken to cool.
• Carve chicken and serve with veggies (drizzle with gravy from the pan, if you like).
• NOTE: If whole chicken is over 3.5 pounds, add 8-10 mins per pound to cooking time.
