Best 10 Crisp Skinned Chicken With Rosemary Potatoes Recipes

BAKED ROSEMARY CHICKEN AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190.5 degrees C).
• Mix together all the ingredients in a large bowl.

CRISPY CHICKEN SKINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Gently pull the skin off the chicken breasts (reserve the breast meat for another use), pat dry and cut in thirds lengthwise. Place them skin-side up in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
• Mix the salt, pepper, thyme and rosemary together in a small bowl, crushing the spices with a spoon. Sprinkle the chicken skins with some of the spice mix; it makes more than you need, but you can keep it for another day. Cover the skins with a layer of parchment and top with a baking sheet to weigh it down, making sure the top sheet presses down on the skins.
• Bake until the skins are browned and crisp, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove the top baking sheet and parchment and transfer the skins to a plate lined with paper towel to cool and crisp up.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH ROSEMARY AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Using a mandoline, a handheld slicer, or a sharp knife, thinly slice the potatoes into rounds about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick.
• Overlap the potato slices in 2 layers in a large roasting pan or 9-by-13-inch (23-by-33-cm) baking dish. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the oil and season generously with salt and pepper.☞TESTER TIP: If you don't have either of those pans available, a round 13-inch (32-cm) tarte Tatin dish or any similarly sized vessel will work.
• Pat the chicken dry. Prick the lemon all over with a fork and stuff it in the cavity along with half the rosemary. Place the chicken on the potatoes.
• Drizzle the remaining 3 tablespoons oil over the chicken and then rub it all over the skin and add a very generous sprinkle of salt. Lightly crush the garlic cloves and toss them on the potatoes along with what's left of the rosemary.☞TESTER TIP: You can happily prepare this a few hours before you're ready to roast the chicken, cover and store in the fridge. Just don't slice the potatoes more than 4 hours or so ahead, as they may brown.
• Slide the pan in the oven and roast until the skin is crisp and the juices run clear when you stick a knife into the thickest part of the bird (between the leg and the body) and the internal temperature reads 165°F (74°C), 70 to 90 minutes, depending on the size of your bird.☞TESTER TIP: If the chicken meat is cooked through but the skin still looks a little pale, simply slide it beneath the broiler for a few minutes until brown and crisp.
• Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving. Serve it straight from the roasting pan.

LEMON-ROSEMARY ROASTED CHICKEN WITH CRISPY POTATOES RECIPE

Steps:

• Adjust oven racks to upper-middle and lower-middle position and preheat oven to 400°F. Heat 12-inch cast iron skillet in oven for 15 minutes.
• In large bowl, stir grated garlic, rosemary, zest, salt, pepper flakes, and 1 tablespoon oil. Add chicken pieces and toss to coat. Cover and let sit for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place butter in cast iron skillet and return to oven until melted, about 2 minutes. Add potatoes, garlic, rosemary, and salt, and stir to coat. Spread potatoes out into single layer and place on lower-middle rack. Roast for 30 minutes. Remove potatoes, toss with a spoon to turn and coat with butter, then return to upper-middle rack.
• When potatoes have been transferred to upper-middle rack, prepare the chicken. Heat remaining tablespoon oil in 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add chicken pieces, skin side down, and cook until well browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Reserve any lemon-rosemary mixture left in the chicken marinating bowl.
• Using tongs, turn chicken pieces over. Add carrots and remaining lemon-rosemary mixture to pan, and transfer to lower-middle rack in oven.
• Continue roasting until potatoes are fully cooked and golden and carrots are tender, about 25 minutes longer. As cooking time approaches end, check chicken pieces for doneness with an instant-read thermometer, removing chicken pieces as they finish cooking (155°F for breast meat, 170°F for legs and drumsticks), and keeping them warm on a plate covered in heavy duty foil. Serve potatoes and carrots with cooked chicken pieces.

SKILLET ROSEMARY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Cover the potatoes with cold water in a saucepan and salt the water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until tender, about 8 minutes; drain and set aside.

LEMON & ROSEMARY ROAST CHICKEN WITH CRISPY POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Cut the potatoes into 2 mouthful-sized chunks and put in a large pan of salted water. Bring to the boil, cook for 5 mins, then drain. Meanwhile, place the olive oil in a really large, sturdy roasting tin and heat for 5 mins. Tip the potatoes in and cook for 20 mins.
• Meanwhile, peel the zest from the lemon (a vegetable peeler is great for this) and slice it finely. Mix it with the sea salt. Place the chicken on a board with the legs pointing towards you, and undo any string tied around. Lift up the skin around the cavity and work your fingers under the skin over the breast and legs, easing it away from the flesh. Push the salty shreds of lemon rind under the skin, spreading it as evenly as possible, followed by four sprigs of rosemary, one on each leg and one on each breast. Then put one sprig inside the bird along with the peeled lemon.
• Take the tin out of the oven, give the potatoes a good shake, and then arrange them so you can fit a rack over the roasting tin. Then place the chicken upside down on the rack and roast for 20 mins. Turn the chicken over and turn potatoes, coating them in the fat that's run off the bird. Return to the oven and roast for another 20 mins, then turn the potatoes again and cook for another 20-30 mins, until the chicken juices run clear.
• Remove the roasting tin from the oven and put the chicken on a serving platter, covering it with foil to keep it warm. Leave to rest for 20 mins. Meanwhile, scoop the potatoes into an ovenproof dish and return to the oven to finish crisping up. Pour away the fat from the roasting tin, then put the tin on the hob over a low to medium heat. Add half the stock, then bring to simmering point, stirring and scraping up the brown residue. Boil, reducing until darker and syrupy. Add the rest of the stock, and bring to simmering point again, bubbling to reduce it. Taste and adjust seasoning. Pour through a sieve into a warmed gravy jug.
• Pile the potatoes around the chicken, and garnish with remaining rosemary sprigs. Serve with gravy and braised lettuce.
• Freezing: Freeze the chicken at the end of step 2, for up to a month. Defrost thoroughly before continuing with the recipe.

ROASTED CHICKEN WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, melt butter; stir in the seasonings and garlic. Place chicken breast side up on a rack in a shallow roasting pan; tie drumsticks together with kitchen string. Spoon half of the butter mixture over chicken. Place the potatoes, carrots and onions around chicken. Drizzle remaining butter mixture over vegetables. , Bake at 350° for 1-1/2 hours. Baste with cooking juices; bake 30-60 minutes longer, basting occasionally, until a thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh reads 170°-175°. (Cover loosely with foil if chicken browns too quickly.), Let stand 10-15 minutes, tented with foil if necessary, before carving. Serve with vegetables.

LOW-FUSS CRISPY ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place a rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 450°F. Place a 12" cast-iron or stainless-steel skillet in oven.
• Pull off excess fat around cavities of chicken; discard. Using paper towels, thoroughly pat dry chicken inside and out. Arrange chicken breast side up on a cutting board. Gently loosen skin covering breasts and thighs. Tuck 4 thyme sprigs under loosened skin, 1 sprig for each breast and thigh.
• Combine 1 Tbsp. plus 1 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper in a small bowl. Pat dry cutting board and chicken again, then tie legs together with kitchen twine.
• Using a metal skewer or paring knife, poke 20-30 holes all over chicken, paying special attention to fatty (thickest) parts of skin. Season chicken with salt mixture, placing a pinch inside cavity, but primarily covering outside of bird.
• Cut remaining thyme sprig crosswise into 3-4 pieces and place in a large bowl. Add potatoes, onions, oil, 1/2 tsp. salt, and a generous pinch of pepper. Toss to combine.
• Carefully remove skillet from oven. Transfer potato mixture to skillet (mixture will sizzle), then place chicken, breast side up, on potato mixture. Return skillet to oven (remember, handle is hot!). Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of breast registers 160°F and thickest part of thigh registers 175°F, 45-55 minutes.
• Remove skillet from oven. Using tongs or a large wooden spoon inserted into cavity, transfer chicken to a large plate. Give potato mixture a stir, then return to oven. Let chicken rest about 5 minutes.
• Using a sharp knife, slash stretched skin between thighs and breasts to let steam escape. Carefully tilt bird and plate over a large bowl to drain juices; reserve juices. Let chicken rest until potatoes are fork-tender, 15-25 minutes more.
• Tilt chicken and plate again over bowl with juices to drain any last bits, then transfer chicken to a cutting board and carve. (If juices have cooled and congealed, gently rewarm over low heat or for 10 seconds in the microwave.)
• Arrange chicken on a platter. Serve with roasted potatoes and onions alongside, spooning juices over.
• Cooks' Note: If time allows, after patting dry and salting chicken, place on a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet, or on a V-rack set in a roasting pan, and chill, uncovered, at least 12 hours or up to 2 days. This 'dry brine' will result in a flavorful juicy chicken with even crispier skin.
