2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme, plus 4 sprigs for the cavity
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage, plus 3 sprigs for the cavity

Tips for Roasting Chicken Pieces with Herbs:

  • Choose the right herbs: Different herbs can impart different flavors to your chicken. Some popular choices include rosemary, thyme, sage, oregano, and garlic. You can also use a pre-made herb blend, such as Italian seasoning or poultry seasoning.
  • Pat the chicken dry: This will help the herbs and spices adhere to the chicken and prevent them from burning.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will not cook evenly. Make sure there is enough space between the chicken pieces so that they can all get crispy skin.
  • Roast the chicken at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy skin and juicy interior.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Roasting chicken pieces with herbs is a simple and delicious way to enjoy this versatile protein. By following these tips, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are serving it as a main course or using it in a salad or soup, roasted chicken is sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for an easy and delicious meal, give this recipe a try!
