Tips:
- Choose a roasting pan that is large enough to accommodate the chicken and vegetables without overcrowding. A cramped pan will prevent the vegetables from roasting evenly.
- Pat the chicken dry before roasting. This will help the skin crisp up.
- Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Roast the chicken at a high temperature for a short period of time. This will help the skin crisp up and the meat stay tender.
- Add the vegetables to the roasting pan about halfway through the cooking time. This will ensure that they are cooked through without becoming overdone.
- Baste the chicken and vegetables with the pan juices every 15 minutes or so. This will help keep them moist and flavorful.
- Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
