Roast chicken with garlic cloves is a classic, mouth-watering dish that showcases the perfect blend of garlic, rosemary, and mustard. It's simple to prepare, yet incredibly flavorful, making it a favorite for family dinners and gatherings. With just a few ingredients, you can create a roasted chicken that's juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Rinse the whole chicken under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
- Ensure the cavity of the chicken is also dry, removing any excess moisture.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the vinegar, mustard, olive oil, garlic cloves, and rosemary.
- Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well-integrated, forming a marinade.
- Place the chicken in a large roasting pan.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure to coat it evenly. Use your hands to rub the marinade into the chicken skin.
- It's a good idea to also rub some marinade inside the cavity for added flavor.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper over the chicken to taste.
- Optionally, tuck additional whole garlic cloves and sprigs of rosemary inside the cavity for extra aroma and flavor.
- Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven.
- Roast the chicken for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the thigh reaches 165°F (75°C).
- For a golden, crispy skin, occasionally baste the chicken with the pan juices using a spoon or a basting brush.
- Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the oven.
- Let it rest for about 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the chicken more tender and flavorful.
7. Carve and Enjoy:
- Carve the chicken into desired pieces: breasts, thighs, drumsticks, and wings.
- Serve with your choice of side dishes and enjoy a delicious, aromatic roast chicken dinner.
Tips:
- Ensure your chicken is at room temperature before you start cooking for even roasting.
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels before seasoning to achieve a crispier skin.
- Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
- Allow the chicken to rest for about 10-15 minutes after roasting to let the juices redistribute.
