Roast Chicken With Radishes Food

ROAST CHICKEN WITH SPRING VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Rinse the chicken and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper, then place skin-side up on a rimmed baking sheet. Squeeze 1/2 lemon over the chicken and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Roast 15 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the potatoes and radishes in half and cut the scallions into thirds. Toss the potatoes, radishes, carrots and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Remove the chicken from the oven and scatter the vegetables around it. Continue to roast until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is golden and cooked through, about 20 more minutes. Squeeze the remaining 1/2 lemon over the chicken and vegetables. Top with the dill and season with salt.

SIMPLE ROAST RADISHES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Remove the leaves from the radishes and if they are nice and fresh, set aside. Halve the radishes and tip into a roasting tin with the olive oil.
• Roast for 20 mins until shrivelled and softened, then remove from the oven. Season with salt, toss with some of the leaves to wilt and serve.

SHEET-PAN MISO CHICKEN WITH RADISHES AND LIME

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Place one rack in the middle of the oven and another about 6 inches from the broiler.
• On a large baking sheet, drizzle the chicken all over with 1 tablespoon oil, then season all over with salt and pepper. In a medium bowl, mash together the ghee and miso until combined. Lift up the skin on one chicken thigh, carefully creating a space between the skin and meat, and place about 1/2 teaspoon miso-ghee mixture inside. Close the pocket, then lightly press on top of the skin to spread it around. Repeat with remaining chicken thighs, adding 1/2 teaspoon miso-ghee mixture to each. Massage another 1 1/2 teaspoons mixture all over the chicken, leaving about 1 teaspoon miso-ghee mixture remaining in the bowl.
• Arrange the chicken skin-side up, evenly spaced apart, and roast on the middle rack for 15 minutes.
• In the same mixing bowl, toss the radishes with the remaining miso-ghee mixture and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• After the chicken has roasted for 15 minutes, scatter the radishes around the chicken and cook until radishes are tender and lightly browned and chicken is cooked through (the temperature in the thickest part of the thigh should reach 165 degrees), another 10 to 15 minutes.
• If the chicken skin is not as browned as you'd like, broil on the rack near the broiler until the skin is crispy and golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Squeeze the lime juice over chicken and radishes, then garnish with the scallions and sesame seeds, if using. Divide among plates and serve.

SPRING ONE-POT ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Remove any string from the chicken and sit in a large roasting tin or a baking dish, with plenty of space around it.
• Mash 2 tbsp of the mascarpone with the lemon zest, 1 tbsp of the tarragon and some seasoning. Slip your hand beneath the chicken skin to pull it away from the meat, then spread the mixture beneath the skin in a thin layer. Spoon another 3 tbsp mascarpone into the cavity of the chicken, to melt in with the roasting juices and enrich the sauce later on. Rub 2 tbsp olive oil into the skin, season well with sea salt, then loosely tie the legs together with butcher's string. Roast for 20 mins.
• Aarrange the potatoes and the garlic around the chicken, drizzle over another 1 tbsp oil and cook for another 30 mins.
• Toss the radishes and whole spring onions into the dish, in and around the potatoes, coating everything in the fat, then roast for another 25 mins. The potatoes and radishes will be golden and tender, and the chicken should be cooked through. Remove the chicken from the tin, cover loosely with foil and leave to rest.
• Pour off or spoon away the excess oil from the tin. Stir the remaining mascarpone (about 150g) with the stock in a jug until lump-free, then pour into the tin and bubble on the hob for few minutes, stirring to coat the potatoes and veg. Squeeze over some lemon juice and season.
• Stir in the peas, spring greens and most of the remaining tarragon, and bubble for a few more minutes until bright green. Sit the chicken back in the middle of the tin to serve and scatter over the reserved tarragon.

PAPRIKA-ROASTED CHICKEN, POTATOES, AND RADISHES WITH SALSA VERDE

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.
