Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or softened butter
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, rosemary, marjoram, oregano or sage leaves, or a combination
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 whole chicken, 3 to 4 pounds, trimmed of excess fat
1 1/2 to 2 pounds small waxy red or white potatoes, peeled, or larger potatoes peeled and cut into 1/2- to 1-inch chunks, or other vegetables
Chopped parsley leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a bowl, mix olive oil or butter, herbs, salt and pepper. Put chicken breast side up in a roasting pan. Toss half the herb-oil mixture with potatoes, scatter them in pan around chicken and put pan in oven. Roast about 20 minutes, and spoon some more herb-oil mixture over chicken and potatoes. Shake pan so potatoes turn and cook evenly.
  • After 10 minutes shake pan, and baste again; breast should be starting to brown. Reduce heat to 325, baste again and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh reads 155 degrees or more. Total roasting time will be 50 to 70 minutes.
  • Remove chicken from pan, and taste a potato; if not quite done, raise heat to 425 degrees, and roast (or broil) while letting chicken rest and carving it. Serve, garnished with parsley, with potatoes scattered around it.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I often make a roast chicken on Sunday and then use the leftovers to make this dish during the week.
