Steps:
- For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Clean the chicken and sprinkle the entire bird, inside and out, with salt and pepper. Stuff the bird with the oranges, garlic, onions, celery, rosemary and thyme. Place the chicken on a rack in a roasting pan and bake for 20 minutes. If the chicken is browning too quickly, turn the oven down to 375 degrees F and cook until the internal temperature of the chicken is 165 degrees, about 1 hour 20 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the oven, tent with foil and let rest 30 minutes. While the chicken is cooking, work on the garnishes.
- For the snow peas and carrots: Fill a large pot with water, season with salt and bring to a boil. Prepare an ice bath by placing ice cubes and water in a bowl. Set aside. Dump the snap peas into the boiling water and cook until al dente. Be sure to test the peas as they are cooking to prevent them from overcooking. Use a slotted spoon to remove the snow peas from the water and plunge into the ice bath. Remove from the ice when cool and reserve until service.
- Put the carrots, ginger, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons butter and brown sugar in a saute pan and add water until the carrots are barely covered. The carrots should be in a single layer. Put on high heat and cook until all the water is nearly evaporated. Cover and set aside for service.
- For the star anise sauce: Combine the stock, soy sauce, anise seeds, honey, vinegar, sesame oil and thyme and reduce until the sauce coats the back of a spoon.
- Once the chicken has rested, carve the bird by removing the legs from the thighs and slicing the breasts in half. Pour any juices that have collected in the pan into the sauce and hold warm over low heat.
- To finish the snap peas, heat a saute pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon butter. Once it is bubbly, add the garlic and snap peas. Season with salt and pepper. To finish the carrots, gently reheat over medium heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter to moisten.
- Once everything is hot, serve a piece of white and dark meat garnished with the carrots, snap peas and drizzled with the sauce.
Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: Look for carrots that are firm, smooth, and brightly colored. Avoid carrots that are limp, bruised, or have cracks.
- Roast the carrots at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize and develop a delicious flavor. 425°F (220°C) is a good temperature to aim for.
- Toss the carrots with olive oil and salt before roasting: This will help them to evenly brown and prevent them from drying out.
- Add other vegetables to the roasting pan: Peas, parsnips, turnips, and potatoes are all good options.
- Roast the vegetables until they are tender: This will usually take about 20-30 minutes, but the time may vary depending on the size and type of vegetables you are using.
- Season the vegetables to taste: Once they are roasted, add salt, pepper, herbs, or spices to taste.
Conclusion:
Roasted carrots and peas are a simple but delicious side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. They are also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin A, vitamin C, and potassium. If you are looking for a healthy and flavorful way to add more vegetables to your diet, roasted carrots and peas are a great option.
