Roasted Potato Chicken Salad With Salsa Verde Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Cut the carrots on the bias into 2-inch-long pieces, halving lengthwise any that are thicker than 1/2 inch in diameter. Toss the carrots, onions and 5 of the garlic cloves with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl until evenly coated, then spread on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Using kitchen shears, cut along each side of the chicken's backbone, removing the backbone completely, then discard or save for another use (such as making broth).
• Turn the chicken over, breast-side up. Using both hands, press down on the breasts to flatten the chicken. Rub all sides with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and sprinkle 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few good grinds pepper. Place the chicken breast-side up on top of the vegetables in the center of the baking sheet.
• Bake until the chicken is golden brown and the thigh registers about 150 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 40 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 500 degrees F and continue to cook until the chicken skin is deep golden brown and the thigh registers 165 degrees F on the thermometer, 10 to 15 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board to rest.
• Meanwhile, bring 2 cups water and 3/4 teaspoon salt to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add the rice, stir to combine and return to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the water, about 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork. Cover and set aside until ready to serve.
• While the rice and chicken are cooking, finely grate the zest from half the lemon. Cut the lemon in half crosswise; juice half and cut the other half into wedges for serving. Place the lemon zest and juice, cilantro, parsley, remaining garlic clove, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds black pepper in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped. Drizzle in the remaining 1/3 cup olive oil while pulsing to combine. Season the salsa verde with salt and pepper.
• Place the rice on one side of a serving platter and the roasted vegetables on the other. Top with the chicken. Drizzle the chicken and rice with any of the juices that remain in the pan. Serve with the salsa verde and lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Rinse the chicken in side and out under cold water. Pat dry and let sit at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes.
• Slice the lemon paper thin and remove the seeds. Lift the skin off the breast of the chicken and place 3 lemon slices and 3 sage leaves in between the skin and the meat of each breast. Place onion, garlic, thyme and the remaining lemon in the cavity of the chicken. Rub the entire chicken liberally with olive oil. Salt the outside and the cavity of the chicken.
• Place in a 425 degree F oven on a roasting rack, breast-side-up. Place a meat thermometer in the thigh and cook until the chicken reaches 160 degrees F. This will take about 10-15 minutes per pound. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes.
• Combine all ingredients and let sit for 2 hours or more for best results.

Steps:

• Place rack in middle of oven; preheat to 425°F. Mix mayonnaise, pepper, paprika, 2 chopped garlic cloves, and 1 1/2 tsp. salt in a medium bowl.
• Pat inside and outside of chicken dry. From edge of cavity, loosen skin from breasts and thighs. Push all but 2 Tbsp. mayonnaise mixture under skin, then gently rub outside of skin to evenly distribute over breasts and legs. Tie together legs with kitchen twine. Transfer chicken to a rimmed baking sheet and roast 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss potatoes and radishes in bowl with reserved mayonnaise mixture.
• Reduce oven temperature to 400°F. Remove pan from oven, arrange potatoes and radishes in a single layer in pan, and continue to roast until potatoes and radishes are crisp-tender and chicken juices run clear when thigh is pierced with a fork and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165°F, 18-20 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, pulse cilantro, parsley, oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, 1 1/2 cups radish tops, 1 Tbsp. water, and remaining 2 garlic cloves and 1/2 tsp. salt in a food processor until coarsely chopped.
• Transfer chicken to a cutting board; let rest 15 minutes. Carve, serve with potatoes and radishes, and top with salsa verde.
• Do Ahead
• Salsa verde can be made 4 days ahead. Transfer to a resealable container, cover with a thin layer of oil, and chill.

Steps:

• A day before cooking, rinse the chicken inside and out under cold water and pat dry. Salt liberally, cover and refrigerate.
• Remove the chicken from the refrigerator 1 hour before cooking. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Lift the skin off each chicken breast and wedge 3 lemon slices and 1 bay leaf between the skin of each breast. Put the garlic, onion, thyme and remaining lemon slices in the cavity of the chicken. Rub the entire chicken liberally with olive oil. Put the chicken in an ovenproof saute pan or roasting pan breast-side up, slide it into the oven and roast until the thigh reaches 160 degrees F. or until the cavity juices run clear, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10-20 minutes.
• When ready to serve, in a medium bowl, dress the arugula with the red wine vinegar and 1 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil. Cut the chicken into 8 pieces, drizzle with the Salsa Verde and serve with the arugula salad.
• Salsa Verde: Combine the extra-virgin olive oil, parsley, capers, mint, red pepper flakes, anchovies, garlic, lemon zest and juice, jalapeno and shallots in a bowl and stir to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste. Allow the flavors to meld for at least 15 minutes before serving. If planning to serve after more than 1 hour, add the lemon juice at the last minute to keep the color vibrant.
