ROASTED CHICKEN WITH LEMON, GARLIC, AND THYME

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Rinse the chicken and pat it dry.
• In a small bowl, make a compound butter by combining the softened butter, minced thyme, garlic cloves, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
• Season the cavity of the chicken generously with salt, and pepper. Stuff the cavity with the lemon quarters, a handful of fresh thyme leaves, and the quartered onion. Place the carrot, celery and onion in the bottom of a roasting pan and place the chicken on top of the vegetables. Cross the legs and tie with kitchen twine.
• Gently lift the skin away from the chicken and spread 2 tablespoons of the softened butter mixture underneath the skin, distributing it evenly. Spread the remaining butter over the entire surface of the chicken and season generously with salt, and pepper.
• Place the chicken in the oven and roast for 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F and roast the chicken until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the inner thigh, not touching the bone registers 160 to 165 degrees F, about 45 minutes. Transfer the chicken and vegetables to a cutting board to rest for about 15 minutes. Tent the chicken with aluminum foil to keep warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• For the chicken: Season the chicken cavity with salt and pepper, to taste. Stuff the chicken cavity with the shallot, half the thyme, and lemon zest.

Dip the remaining thyme in the mixture and use it to brush the chicken all over with the honey mixture. Season bird with salt and pepper, to taste.

Remove the pan from the oven and turn the chicken breast side up. Cut the string where it holds the legs together and open up the legs a bit. Baste the chicken with the pan drippings, using the thyme sprigs as a brush.

• Bake chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from oven; immediately turn over chicken with tongs to coat the top with sauce.

PAN-SEARED CHICKEN WITH THYME

Steps:

• Season both sides of chicken with salt, pepper, and dried thyme. Place flour in a shallow dish and dredge both sides of chicken pieces in flour.
• Heat oil in pan over medium-high heat. When oil starts to shimmer, add the chicken. (If the chicken browns too quickly, reduce heat.) Cook, turning as needed, until chicken is browned on both sides, is no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear, 4 or 5 minutes total on each side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a plate and tent with foil.

THYME-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375°F. Fold the wings of the chicken across the back so tips are touching. There may be a little resistance, but once they are in this position, they will stay. Tie the legs to the tail with string or use skewers; if the tail is missing, tie the legs together.
• In a shallow roasting pan, place the chicken with the breast side up. Insert an ovenproof meat thermometer so the tip is in the thickest part of inside thigh and does not touch bone. Roast chicken uncovered 45 minutes.
• While the chicken is roasting, peel the carrots, and cut into 1-inch pieces. Cut the celery into 1-inch pieces. Scrub the potatoes thoroughly with a vegetable brush or peel the potatoes, and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Peel the onions, and cut into wedges.
• Remove the chicken from the oven. Arrange the carrots, celery, potatoes and onions around the chicken. In a 1-quart saucepan, heat the butter over low heat just until melted. (Or place the butter in a small microwavable bowl; cover with a microwavable paper towel and microwave on High 10 to 20 seconds or until melted.) Stir the thyme into the butter, then drizzle over the chicken and vegetables.
• Cover the chicken and vegetables with foil; roast 45 to 60 minutes longer or until the thermometer reads 180°F and vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork. Or check for doneness by wiggling the legs; if they move easily, the chicken is done.
• Remove the vegetables from the pan, and cover with foil to keep warm while carving the chicken.
• Place chicken, breast up and with its legs to your right if you're right-handed or to the left if left-handed, on cutting board. Remove ties from legs.
