Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Rinse the whole chicken under cold water, then pat it dry with paper towels.
- Cut the lemon into quarters.
- Peel and lightly crush the garlic cloves.
- Rub the chicken all over with the olive oil.
- Season generously with salt and pepper, both inside and out.
- Stuff the chicken cavity with the lemon quarters, crushed garlic cloves, and fresh thyme.
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
- In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Place the seasoned chicken on a roasting rack in a baking dish or tray.
- Arrange the prepared potatoes around the chicken in the same dish.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven.
- Roast for about 1 hour and 15 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crisp and golden.
- If the potatoes aren't tender by the time the chicken is done, you can remove the chicken and continue baking the potatoes until they're fully cooked.
- While the chicken and potatoes are roasting, chop the chives.
- In a small bowl, combine the butter, chopped chives, and 1 tbsp of water.
- Mix well until you have a smooth butter mixture.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
- Toss the roasted potatoes with the chive butter mixture until they are well coated.
- Carve the chicken and serve it alongside the buttery chive potatoes.
- Garnish with any remaining chives if desired.
- Enjoy your deliciously seasoned chicken with baby potatoes!
Tips:
- Make sure the chicken is at room temperature before you start cooking it to ensure even cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure it is fully cooked.
- Toss the potatoes in olive oil, salt, and pepper before adding them to the baking dish for a crispier texture.
- Basting the chicken occasionally with its own juices helps in keeping it moist and flavorful.
- Let the chicken rest for about 10 minutes after you take it out of the oven to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a juicier outcome.
By following this simple recipe, you can create a delightful meal that balances the rich taste of chicken with the comforting flavor of baby potatoes. The fresh herbs and lemon add a zesty touch, while the butter and olive oil create a beautifully roasted finish. Enjoy this seasoned chicken with baby potatoes as is, or pair it with a fresh salad for a complete dinner experience.
