If there’s one thing everyone should know how to do in the kitchen, it’s roast a whole chicken! Don’t worry, it’s not nearly as time consuming as roasting a whole turkey!
Store-bought rotisserie chickens are lifesavers when you’re in a pinch because they’re perfect to pick apart for sandwiches, salads and soups, but there’s nothing quite like the tender juiciness of a whole chicken roasted in your own oven. So, if you have the time, (an hour and a half is really all you need!), make it yourself.
This particular whole chicken is flavored with an herby paste and roasted in the oven atop starchy red and gold potatoes, carrots and onions, creating a hearty one-pan meal that’s ideal for any wintery day.
Enjoy it around the table fresh out of the oven, then reserve the leftovers to use just like you would a rotisserie chicken!
