2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
4 garlic cloves, (minced)
1 head of garlic roughly peeled and cut in half horizontally (through the middle crosswise)

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 skin-on, boneless chicken breasts (about 11/2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 heads garlic
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
4 slices sourdough bread, grilled or toasted
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 3 1/2- to 4-pound chicken
1 lemon, cut in half
1 head garlic, separated
1/4 cup melted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
Half cup water
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 loaf French or Italian bread, thinly sliced and toasted in the oven
2 tablespoons parsley to garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wipe the chicken dry with paper towels. Squeeze the lemon over the inside and outside of the chicken.
  • Arrange the chicken in a roasting pan. Place the garlic in the water around the chicken. Pour the melted butter and oil over the chicken.
  • Roast for 45 minutes to one hour, or until the chicken is cooked, basting frequently during cooking time. The garlic should roast without burning once the water has evaporated. Should the garlic start to brown too fast, add a little more water.

Tips:

  • Select the right chicken: Choose a whole chicken that is between 3 and 4 pounds in weight. This size will ensure that the chicken cooks evenly and is not too dry.
  • Prepare the chicken: Rinse the chicken inside and out and pat it dry with paper towels. Remove any excess fat from the chicken, but leave the skin on.
  • Season the chicken: Season the chicken liberally with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Roast the chicken: Place the chicken breast-side up in a roasting pan. Add a cup of water to the bottom of the pan to prevent the chicken from drying out. Roast the chicken at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bird.

Conclusion:

Roast chicken is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. By following these tips, you can ensure that your roast chicken is cooked to perfection and is packed with flavor. So next time you're looking for a simple and delicious meal, give roast chicken a try!
