Categories     main-dish

Time 6h5m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Two 3- to 4-pound chickens
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, plus 2 sprigs
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary, plus 1 sprig, torn in half
1 lemon, halved
6 cloves garlic, smashed
1 onion, halved
1 parsnip, cut into large dice
1 medium Yukon gold potato, cut into large dice
1 butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into large dice
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Pat the chickens dry inside and out. Generously season the skin and cavity of each with salt and pepper. Refrigerate, uncovered, at least 4 hours and up to overnight to dry out the skin.
  • Let the chickens stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before roasting. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Mash the butter with the chopped thyme and rosemary in a small bowl. Gently slide your fingers under the skin on the breasts and legs of each chicken to loosen . Scoop some of the herbed butter with a spoon, slide the spoon under the skin on one chicken and hold the skin in place while you remove the spoon. Smooth the skin to distribute the butter; repeat with more butter if needed. Repeat with the second chicken and remaining herbed butter.
  • Squeeze the juice of a lemon half into the cavity of each chicken, then stuff the lemon half inside. Stuff 3 cloves garlic, 1/2 onion, 1 thyme sprig and 1/2 rosemary sprig into each chicken cavity. Tie the legs together with twine. Put the chickens on a baking sheet next to each other.
  • Toss the parsnip, potato, squash, olive oil and a large pinch of salt in a bowl, then add the vegetables to the baking sheet, scattering them around the chickens. Roast until the chickens are golden brown and a instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F, about 1 hour. Transfer the chicken and vegetables to platters and let rest about 10 minutes before carving.
