ROAST CHICKEN WITH CHICKEN FAT POTATOES



Roast Chicken with Chicken Fat Potatoes image

Everyone is looking for that incredible whole-roasted chicken they can make over and over again. I'll show you how to make a beautiful chicken with potatoes that are cooked in the chicken's drippings. Best part? It all happens in one pan. Big flavor with minimal cleanup- that's my kind of meal. If fennel isn't your thing, swap it out for an onion or omit it all together (the seeds, too).

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 whole chicken (about 4 pounds), at room temperature (see Cook's Note)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons fennel seeds, whole or slightly crushed
1 lemon, sliced into 1/4-inch coins
1 bunch fresh thyme (about 9 to 10 sprigs)
2 pounds waxy baby potatoes (see Cook's Note)
1 medium bulb fennel, quartered and sliced into 1/4-inch pieces, fronds reserved
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the cavity and the exterior of the chicken with salt, pepper and the fennel seeds. Stuff the cavity of the chicken with the lemon slices and 7 to 8 thyme sprigs.
  • Add the potatoes and fennel to a roasting pan, Dutch oven or cast-iron skillet. Drizzle with the oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss together to evenly coat. Top with the remaining 2 to 3 thyme sprigs. Place the chicken on top of the potatoes and fennel and place on the lower rack of the oven. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and crispy and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken registers 160 to 165 degrees F, about 50 minutes.
  • Use tongs to transfer the chicken to a cutting board, letting any extra juices drip onto the potatoes and fennel. Allow the chicken to rest so the juices redistribute into the meat, 25 to 30 minutes. Toss the vegetables to coat in the chicken juices using a large spoon and continue to cook until crisp, about 15 minutes.
  • To quarter the chicken, start by removing the thighs and legs and then move to the breast meat. Serve the chicken with the potatoes and fennel, garnish with the reserved fennel fronds and enjoy!

Provided by Melissa d'Arabian : Food Network

Time 2h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1(3 to 4 pound) chicken, rinsed and patted dry
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme
1 clove garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup white wine
1 1/2 pounds red potatoes
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of 1/2 lemon

Steps:

  • Allow the chicken to rest at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl or mini prep, mix together the butter with the rosemary, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels, then rub the chicken all over with 3 tablespoons of the herbed butter. Cook's Note: Make sure chicken is dry. Slide some of the butter underneath the breast skin. Tie the chicken legs together with kitchen string.
  • In a small roasting pan, pour in the white wine and place the chicken breast side down. Roast for 15 minutes. In a medium bowl, season the potatoes with salt, and pepper and drizzle with oil to coat. Remove the roasting pan from the oven. Remove the chicken to a plate turning it breast-side up. Brush the rest of the herbed butter on top of the chicken. Add the potatoes to the bottom of the pan and place the chicken on top.
  • Lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees F, and return the chicken to the oven to finish roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the inner thigh, not touching the bone, reaches 160 degrees F, about 1 hour more. Once done, remove the chicken to a carving board and let rest 10 minutes before carving. Remove the potatoes to a serving bowl.
  • Return the roasting pan to the stovetop over high heat. Deglaze the pan with the lemon juice, scraping up the bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.
  • To serve: Place slices of chicken on plate with potatoes and drizzle the pan sauce over both.

HEAVENLY HOME-STYLE ROASTED WHOLE CHICKEN AND POTATOES



Heavenly Home-Style Roasted Whole Chicken and Potatoes image

I consider this recipe to be one of my best "stand-by's!" It is a great "stand-by" recipe for family-friendly meals; to throw together as an easy one-pot meal for any occasion; for unexpected company; for easy weekend meal prep that allows for delicious leftovers all week; for a potluck, or to take to a family who is sick or in need; or for guest-worthy dinner parties (because it is so easy to make,so that the chef can enjoy the festivities, too). It is just a great and easy recipe that can be thrown together on a moment's notice! There are a million baked/roasted chicken recipes out there, but I like this one because it allows the chicken and potatoes to roast to a perfect crisp (yet so tender on the inside); the chicken turns out incredibly moist (thanks to the decadant butter); and the spices and garlic create a flavor-rich dish. I prefer to make it with butter or high quaility spread, but you can use olive oil in place of the butter, if you prefer. An added bonus to this recipe is that it will make your house smell heavenly, while it cooks. Mmmmm - good! :-)

One-pan roast chicken & potatoes image

Bring the pan straight to the table and use the juices to make a light, lemony gravy for the perfect summer roast

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 1h55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ½kg medium chicken
6 lemons , halved
4 rosemary sprigs
2 onions , quartered
9 garlic cloves
1 tbsp thyme leaves, chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
500g baby new potatoes , halved
3 lemon thyme sprigs

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Stuff the chicken cavity with 2 lemon halves, 2 rosemary sprigs, 4 onion quarters and some seasoning. Put the chicken into a large roasting tray.
  • Crush 3 garlic cloves, then add to a small bowl with the thyme leaves and olive oil, mix, then rub this all over the chicken with some seasoning.
  • Arrange the potatoes around the chicken with the rest of the lemons and onions, rosemary and whole garlic cloves, and lemon thyme. Cook in the oven for 1 hr 20 mins, turning the potatoes in the pan once or twice. To check if the chicken is cooked, pierce the thigh with a skewer and the juices should run clear.
  • Remove the chicken from the tray and place on a serving dish or board to rest for 15-20 mins. As you lift the chicken, let any juices pour back into the tray. Increase oven temperature to 200C/ 180C fan/gas 6 and cook the potatoes for a further 10-15 mins or until tender.
  • If you want gravy, use a slotted spoon to remove the potatoes from the tray to a serving bowl, then use a potato masher to mash all the juices, lemons, herbs and garlic together in the roasting tray, adding a splash of water if it's too pulpy. Push this mix through a sieve, taste the gravy and add some more seasoning if you need to. Bring everything into the garden so everyone can help themselves.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH CRUNCHY SEAWEED AND POTATOES



Roast Chicken With Crunchy Seaweed and Potatoes image

Two types of seaweed add flavor and crunch to this otherwise classic golden, roast chicken. A lemon-scented compound butter seasoned with dried red dulse (a mild type of seaweed) adds richness and a mineral, saline character to the bird, which is roasted with kelp and potatoes. As the chicken fat renders, it coats the vegetables, bronzing the potatoes and making the kelp as crisp as seaweed snacks. You do need to plan ahead to source the seaweed and marinate the chicken, but the reward is a robust, one-pan chicken dinner that hits all the right savory notes.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, easy, poultry, roasts, main course

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon red dulse flakes or powder
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest plus 1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 (3 1/2- to 4-pound) whole chicken, patted dry
1 small bunch fresh herbs, such as rosemary, thyme or sage
1 pound baby potatoes, halved, or quartered if large
1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced
2 cups ready-cut (or slaw-cut) kelp seaweed (about 6 ounces), water lightly squeezed out (see Note)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Large pinch of red-pepper flakes

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, stir together softened butter, dulse, lemon zest and juice, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Rub all over chicken, including the cavity, underneath the skin, then on top of the skin. Stuff herb bunch into cavity and transfer chicken to a rimmed baking sheet. Let marinate at least 1 hour or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Heat oven to 425 degrees and place a rack in the middle. Remove chicken from refrigerator and let sit at room temperature while you prepare vegetables.
  • In a large bowl, toss together potatoes, onion, kelp, oil, red-pepper flakes and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Spread mixture out surrounding the chicken on the baking sheet.
  • Roast, tossing vegetables every 20 minutes, until chicken is browned and a thermometer inserted into thickest portion of thigh reads 160 degrees, about 1 hour. Remove from oven, transfer chicken to a cutting board and tent loosely with foil for 10 minutes.
  • Transfer roasted vegetables to a serving platter and top with chicken and any remaining juices from baking sheet. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Opt for a free-range or organic chicken for the best flavor and quality.
  • Dry the chicken thoroughly: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels before roasting. This will help the skin crisp up.
  • Season the chicken generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and dried thyme to season the chicken.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Make sure there is enough space between the chicken pieces so that they can cook evenly.
  • Roast the chicken at a high temperature: Start by roasting the chicken at 450°F for 30 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350°F and continue roasting until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Make the chicken fat potatoes: While the chicken is roasting, boil the potatoes until tender, then mash them with butter, chicken fat, salt, and pepper.
  • Let the chicken rest before carving: Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken.

Conclusion:

This roast chicken with chicken fat potatoes recipe is a classic for a reason. It's simple to make, yet incredibly flavorful and satisfying. The chicken is roasted to perfection with crispy skin and juicy meat, while the potatoes are creamy and delicious. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
