Whole Roast Chicken And Vegetables Food

WHOLE-ROASTED CHICKEN AND VEGGIES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
• In a large, ovenproof skillet or frying pan, mix together the carrots, squash, and broccoli, and coat with the oil. Spread the veggies into 1 even layer.
• Place the chicken on top of the veggies.
• Season the bird on all sides and in the cavity with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme leaves. While seasoning the bird, make sure that enough seasoning has fallen onto the veggies below to give them good flavor.
• To truss the chicken, fold the wingtips underneath the breasts so that they fit snugly. Using a piece of butcher's twine, tie the legs together so the bird holds a nice shape.
• Bake for 1 hour, or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast reads 160°F (70°C).
• NOTE: Once resting out of the oven, the temperature will continue to rise to a safe 165°F (75°C).
• Let the chicken rest for at least 15 minutes once out of the oven, so that all of the juices in the meat can settle and the internal temperature has time to finish rising.
• Carve the bird as desired.
• Serve on a plate with the veggies, and fresh thyme sprigs for garnish.
• Enjoy!

ROAST CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 385 degrees F (196 degrees C).
• Pour olive oil into a large bowl; toss potatoes, carrots, bite-size pieces of celery, and 3/4 of the sliced onion in the oil to coat. Set remaining onion aside. Transfer oiled vegetables to a large cast iron skillet.
• Rinse chicken and pat thoroughly dry with paper towels. Generously season the chicken, inside and out, with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Place the remaining 1/4 of the sliced onion, 1/4 cup margarine, lemon slices, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, and large pieces of celery into the cavity of the chicken.
• Place the chicken atop the oiled vegetables; scatter remaining 1/4 cup of margarine pieces and 1 2/3 tablespoon minced garlic in small amounts around the vegetables.
• 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.

WHOLE ROAST CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Place the chicken in the same dish you'll be using to roast it (I use a large 13 x 9 inch casserole dish). Sprinkle the whole surface (top, bottom, sides, etc) with sea salt and place the dish in the refrigerator, leaving the chicken open to air for at least 1 hour, ideally overnight and up to 24 hours.
• When you're ready to roast the chicken, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Cut a large lemon into 4 chunks and place it inside of the body cavity.
• Mix together the avocado oil, paprika, and garlic powder in a small bowl until well-combined, creating a "slurry."
• Cover the whole chicken (top, bottom, sides, etc) in the slurry, using your hands to spread it evenly over the whole chicken.
• Leave the chicken at room temperature while the oven preheats, or better yet, perform this process 1 hour before you roast the chicken to allow it to come to room temperature.
• Roast the chicken for a total of 1 hour and 20 minutes to 1 hour and 40 minutes (adding the vegetables about 2/3 of the way through), or until the juices run clear when poked, and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
• Note: Check on the chicken periodically (but avoid opening the oven too frequently!) to make sure the skin isn't burning. If it begins to burn at any point, cover the chicken with foil for the rest of the cooking process.
• While the chicken is roasting, chop the vegetables and place them in a large mixing bowl.
• Drizzle the vegetables with avocado oil and sprinkle with sea salt and oregano. Use your hands to toss everything together until the vegetables are well coated with oil and seasoning. Allow the vegetables to sit and "marinate" until you're ready to roast them.
• About 30 minutes before the chicken is finished roasting (so about 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes into the roasting process), remove the casserole dish from the oven and baste it by using a spoon to pour its fat and juices all over it. Transfer the prepared vegetables to the casserole dish, around the chicken.
• Place the casserole dish back in the oven and continue roasting another 30 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables have reached your desired doneness.

PERFECT ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Remove the chicken giblets. Rinse the chicken inside and out. Remove any excess fat and leftover pin feathers and pat the outside dry. Liberally salt and pepper the inside of the chicken. Stuff the cavity with the bunch of thyme, both halves of lemon, and all the garlic. Brush the outside of the chicken with the butter and sprinkle again with salt and pepper. Tie the legs together with kitchen string and tuck the wing tips under the body of the chicken. Place the onions, carrots, and fennel in a roasting pan. Toss with salt, pepper, 20 sprigs of thyme, and olive oil. Spread around the bottom of the roasting pan and place the chicken on top.
• Roast the chicken for 1 1/2 hours, or until the juices run clear when you cut between a leg and thigh. Remove the chicken and vegetables to a platter and cover with aluminum foil for about 20 minutes. Slice the chicken onto a platter and serve it with the vegetables.

ROASTED VEGETABLE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Season chicken with salt and pepper to taste; place in a large roasting pan. Arrange vegetables around chicken, add water to the bottom of the pan, and cover pan tightly with aluminum foil.
• Roast at in preheated oven, basting occasionally, for 2 hours, removing the foil for the last half hour or so of cooking. Roast until chicken is golden brown and a thermometer inserted into the thigh reaches 165 degrees F (74 C). Let chicken rest 10 minutes before carving.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH 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.

BEST-EVER ROAST CHICKEN AND ROOT VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Put the carrots, parsnips and onions in the bottom of a big roasting pan. Season with salt and pepper, and add to that the 1/2 cup of chicken broth.
• Then, remove the contents from the cavity of the chicken.
• Slice the top off of the whole head of garlic, and put that, the halved lemon, and the whole bunch of thyme inside the cavity. Truss the legs of the chicken.
• Season the outside of the chicken with olive oil, salt and pepper.
• Place the chicken on top of the vegetables in the roasting pan, fold the wings underneath the bird.
• Put the pan into a 400-degree oven for an hour and fifteen minutes -- at that point, check to see if the chicken's done (slice the wing, the juices should run clear). Add more time if needed.
• Let rest for 10-15 minutes, carve and serve with the roasted vegetables.
