Roasted Chicken with Celery Root and Onion image

A pinch of red-pepper flakes livens up wedges of mellow celery root. Roasting the vegetables alongside the chicken means they cook in the drippings-no oil required.

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 whole chicken (3 1/2 to 4 pounds), patted dry
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 large red onion, cut into 1/2-inch wedges, root end left intact
1 medium celery root (about 1 pound), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
4 teaspoons lemon zest, plus 4 teaspoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Season chicken inside and out with salt and pepper. Tuck wing tips underneath chicken and tie legs together with kitchen twine. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and roast 20 minutes.
  • Remove sheet from oven and arrange onion and celery root around chicken, turning to coat with drippings. Top vegetables with red-pepper flakes and season with salt and pepper. Roast until vegetables are tender and juices run clear when chicken is pierced between breast and leg (an instant-read thermometer should read 165 degrees when inserted into the thickest part of a thigh, avoiding bone), about 30 minutes, flipping vegetables halfway through. Let chicken rest 10 minutes before carving. To serve, sprinkle chicken and vegetables with lemon zest and juice.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but the chicken was tough and the vegetables were mushy.

This recipe is way too complicated. There are too many ingredients and the instructions are confusing.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken was still undercooked. I had to put it back in the oven for another 30 minutes.

This recipe was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and the vegetables were overcooked.

I've tried this recipe a few times and I've had mixed results. Sometimes the chicken is juicy and flavorful, and sometimes it's dry and bland. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

This was my first time cooking a whole chicken and it turned out perfectly. The recipe was easy to follow and the chicken was cooked evenly throughout.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great. I loved the crispy skin and the tender meat. The celery root and onion added a nice touch of flavor.

I'm not a huge fan of celery root, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well it paired with the chicken. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the skin was crispy and golden brown.

This roasted chicken was a hit with my family! The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the celery root and onion added a nice sweetness and depth of flavor. I will definitely be making this again.
