POULET RôTI (ROAST CHICKEN)



Poulet Rôti (Roast Chicken) image

This is a basic recipe that every cook should know how to make. My family loves this with mashed potatoes and gravy. When all 4 of my kids lived at home I would often roast 3 chicken at a time, so there would be leftovers for chicken pie, sandwiches, or Ceasar Salad. Try different combinations or amounts of the herbs and spices, we tend to like our food highly seasoned.

Time 2h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (4 lb) roasting chickens (at least 4 pounds preferred)
2 -3 teaspoons dried thyme
1 -2 teaspoon rosemary
2 -3 teaspoons garlic granules (or powder) or 2 fresh garlic cloves
1 teaspoon pepper
3/4-1 teaspoon salt
olive oil (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Rinse and pat chicken dry.
  • If your chicken has a neck and giblets, put them in a small pot, cover with water and a little onion (dry onion or powder work too) and carrots if you have them and a little the same herbs used in the chicken, bring to a boil and then simmer for about an hour, strain this and use for your gravy for extra flavor - you can also cook in canned low sodium chicken broth, for more flavor.
  • Mix together all your herbs and spices, rub together with your fingers or if you have a mortar and pestle, grind them a few times to blend.
  • Gently lift the skin from either side of the breast and using your finger push some of the herb mix under each side.
  • Turn over the chicken and make a small slit behind each thigh and push some herb mix under the thigh skin (this step is optional, but it makes the thighs extra tasty).
  • Place you chicken in a roasting pan that has been sprayed or lightly oiled, if roasting a single chicken, a cast iron frying pan is perfect for this.
  • If using the olive, rub or drizzle over the chicken then, rub or sprinkle extra herb mix all over the outside of the chicken (do this even without the oil, a little extra salt and pepper in the cavity is also a good thing.
  • You have 2 options, #1 - turn the chicken breast side down on a rack that has also been sprayed or oiled, half way through cooking turn breast up; #2 - cook the entire time breast up, the breast skin usually tears for me so I do #2, but #1 can make the breast meat a little moister.
  • Roast for 1- 11/2 hours or until chicken register 180 degrees on your meat thermometer (if you use a larger chicken adjust time accordingly), be sure and poke a thick part of the chicken meat and don't get too near the bone. Length of time will vary with chicken size.
  • Check chicken at an hour, herbs and spice on top are getting too dark loosely tent top with a piece of foil (spray first).
  • When done, place chicken on platter and let rest for 5- 10 minutes while you make the gravy. Drain off excess fat and make your gravy.
  • NOTE: Some people like to tie the legs together with kitchen twine, it does look nicer but I never bother.
  • I've been know to roast chicken anywhere from 375-450 degrees, 400- 425 is my norm, I decide what to use based on my schedule of when I need to put it in the oven. Lower temp mean slightly longer cooking time.

Poulet Rôti En Crapaudine (Roast Chicken Breasts Matou) image

For those who want just enough for dinner, just breast meat, no leftovers--a succulent way to roast a chicken breast and have some stuffing too. From Chicago's Cafe Matou. Think of the panade as a base--be creative--add what you like. Note: If you can't get whole breasts, buy two chickens, bone out the whole breast, keeping the skin in tact, and use the balance of the birds for fricasees, stock, or whatever.

Even in Bordeaux, arguably the wine capital of the world, sometimes you can't quite finish a whole bottle. That's when this marinade comes in handy. A loitering leftover glass of red wine can make for the perfect marinade. If leftover wine is a rare occurrence in your household, donate a little glass from your bottle of red and enjoy a spectacular dish to accompany the remainder of the bottle.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken breasts. Look for boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size so that they cook evenly.
  • Butterfly the chicken breasts. This will help them lay flat in the roasting pan and cook more evenly.
  • Season the chicken breasts generously. Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
  • Don't overcrowd the roasting pan. Give the chicken breasts enough space so that they can cook evenly.
  • Roast the chicken breasts at a high temperature. This will help them brown and cook through quickly.
  • Let the chicken breasts rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken.

Conclusion:

Poulet rôti en crapaudine is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken breasts are roasted at a high temperature, resulting in a crispy skin and juicy interior. The combination of herbs and spices gives the chicken a flavorful and aromatic taste. Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
