THE BEST ROASTED CHICKEN
This is the best chicken I have ever made. My husband liked this so much that, because I had leftover potatoes, gravy, and cornbread stuffing, I had to make another chicken.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Mix butter, garlic, thyme, rosemary, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in a bowl.
- Loosen skin on chicken breast; rub butter mixture between skin and breast meat. Press on the skin to distribute evenly. Rub oil, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper all over; place lemon halves inside cavity. Set in a baking pan.
- Roast in the preheated oven, basting after 30 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let rest before carving, about 15 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425. In a small bowl, roughly mash 3/4 cup Roasted Garlic with a fork. Season with salt and pepper.
- Rinse chicken inside and out and pat dry. Gently slip your fingers between skin and meat of breast, thighs, and legs to loosen skin. Evenly spread mashed garlic under skin, starting with leg and thigh area and working your way back toward neck. Generously season chicken inside and out with salt and pepper. Tuck wing tips underneath chicken and tie legs together with kitchen twine.
- Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet or roasting pan on high. Add oil, swirl to coat skillet, then add chicken. Cook 1 minute, then transfer skillet to oven. Roast chicken until skin is deep golden brown and juices run clear when pierced between breast and leg (an instant-read thermometer should read 160 degrees when inserted in thickest part of a thigh, avoiding bone), 40 to 45 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes before carving.

Scatter the onion slices, carrots and potatoes around the chicken. Brush the outside of the chicken with the butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a medium saucepan, bring potatoes to a boil in salted water and cook until tender when pierced with a knife, 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, season chicken with salt, pepper, and thyme. In a large ovenproof skillet, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium-high. Cook chicken, skin side down, until golden and crisp, 5 minutes. Flip, then add shallots; cook until chicken is browned, 5 minutes. Flip shallots, then transfer skillet to oven. Roast until chicken is cooked through, 15 minutes.
- Reserve 3/4 cup cooking water from potatoes. Drain potatoes and return to pan. Add 2 teaspoons oil, lemon zest, and reserved cooking water; season with salt and pepper and roughly mash.
- Transfer chicken and shallots to a platter and heat skillet over medium. Add remaining 1 teaspoon oil and garlic and stir until fragrant, 30 seconds.

Tips:
- To ensure the chicken is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check if the chicken is done by piercing it with a fork. If the juices run clear, the chicken is cooked.
- Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken.
- When making the mashed potatoes, use Yukon Gold potatoes. These potatoes are known for their creamy texture and rich flavor.
- To make the mashed potatoes extra creamy, use a potato ricer to mash them. A potato ricer will help to remove any lumps and create a smooth and fluffy texture.
- If you don't have a potato ricer, you can use a fork or a potato masher. Just be sure to mash the potatoes until they are smooth and lump-free.

This roasted chicken with fresh garlic and spinach stuffed under the skin and wild mushroom mashed potatoes is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner.
