Rosemary and Thyme Infused Roast Chicken




Source of Recipe


Im Just Gre8t


List of Ingredients




Rosemary and Thyme Infused Roast Chicken and Potatoes


Whole Chicken- 3-4 lbs.
Rosemary and Thyme, or Parsley- 2,3 sprigs of each
Garlic-3 cloves
Lemon-1
Potatoes- 2 lbs
Salt and Pepper- to taste
Olive Oil-1 tsp.

Recipe




Pre-heat the oven to 350F/180C.

Rinse your chicken under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

Set aside.

Chop up the herbs, peel the garlic cloves and slice them.

Make little slits all over the chicken with the tip of your knife and slide the garlic slices into them.

My mom always did that with all of her roasts.

This step allows the meat to get a delicate flavour all the way through and not just the surface.

Prick the lemon with a fork and put it inside the cavity along with the half of the chopped herbs and a clove of sliced garlic.

Rub the surface of the chicken with a tbsp. of olive oil and the other half of the herbs.

Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Put in the oven in a large roasting pan and set your timer for 1 hour.

While the chicken is cooking, get your potatoes ready.

I used new potatoes which I usually don't peel.

Wash the potatoes and cut them in half lengthways.

Put them in a pot with salted water and bring them to a boil, continue boiling for 7 minutes, then drain in a colander, cover with a lid and set aside.

When the timer for the chicken goes off take it out of the oven, baste it and scatter potatoes around it.

Dip a pastry brush in the fat that collected in the roasting pan and brush the potatoes with it.

Put it back in the oven for another hour, checking from time to time making sure that your potatoes are roasting evenly and turning crispy on the outside.

I have discovered that nothing does a better job of achieving that crispiness than the copious amount of chicken fat! Beauty!
