Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
4 sprigs fresh thyme
1 onion, cut in half
1/2 head garlic
1/2 lemon, cut in half
Olive oil
6 small Yukon gold potatoes, cut in half

2 carrots, peeled and cut on the bias
2 heads escarole, rinsed, and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Steps:

ROASTED HERB CHICKEN AND POTATOES



Roasted Herb Chicken and Potatoes image

Arrange the potatoes, onions, and whole chicken in a pan, season with a piquant Kikkoman Soy Sauce mixture, and let the oven do the rest!

Provided by Kikkoman

Categories     Trusted Brands: Recipes and Tips     Kikkoman

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ½ pounds baking potatoes
1 large onion, thinly sliced
⅓ cup Kikkoman Soy Sauce
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves, crumbled
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
¾ teaspoon pepper
1 (4 pound) whole roasting chicken

Steps:

  • Cut potatoes in half lengthwise; cut each piece crosswise into 1/2-inch thick slices. Place with onion in large, shallow foil-lined baking pan. Combine next 7 ingredients; drizzle 1 Tbsp. mixture over potato mixture and toss until evenly coated.
  • Discard giblets and neck from chicken. Rinse chicken under cold running water; drain and pat dry. Place chicken, breast side up, in center of pan, moving potatoes aside. Brush chicken, including cavity, thoroughly with soy sauce mixture.
  • Roast in 375 degrees F oven about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until meat thermometer inserted into thickest part not touching bone registers 180 degrees F, brushing chicken with soy sauce mixture every 30 minutes and stirring vegetables. Remove from oven; let chicken stand 10 minutes before carving. Serve with potatoes.

Tips:

  • Use a whole chicken: It's more flavorful and juicy than chicken breasts or thighs alone.
  • Dry the chicken thoroughly: This helps the skin crisp up.
  • Season the chicken generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
  • Roast the chicken at a high temperature: This will help the skin brown and the meat cook through quickly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Give the chicken and vegetables enough space to roast properly.
  • Roast the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 165°F: This ensures that the chicken is cooked through.
  • Let the chicken rest before carving: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
