Roast Chicken With Herbes De Provence Baste Recipes

HERBS DE PROVENCE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Roast the chicken for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

SPATCHCOCKED CHICKEN WITH HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mash together the butter, garlic, parsley, mixed herbs, thyme, rosemary, salt, herbes de Provence, lemon zest, white pepper and black pepper. Rub three-quarters of the mixture all over the chicken, including under the skin. (Reserve the remaining herb butter for serving.) Place the chicken, breast-up, on a rimmed baking sheet and refrigerate it, uncovered, for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Roast chicken until it is just cooked through (the meat will no longer be pink and the juices will run clear; an instant read thermometer inserted into the thigh will read 165 degrees), 40 to 55 minutes. Let the chicken rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before carving. Serve it topped with the reserved herb butter and lemon wedges.

ROASTED CHICKEN PROVENçAL

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Put the flour in a shallow pan, and lightly dredge the chicken in it, shaking the pieces to remove excess flour.
• Swirl the oil in a large roasting pan, and place the floured chicken in it. Season the chicken with the herbes de Provence. Arrange the lemon, garlic cloves and shallots around the chicken, then add the vermouth to the pan.
• Put the pan in the oven, and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, then baste it with the pan juices. Continue roasting for another 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is very crisp and the meat cooked through.
• Serve in the pan or on a warmed platter, garnished with the thyme.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH HERBES-DE-PROVENCE BASTE

Steps:

• Bring 1 1/4 gallons of water to a rolling boil. Remove from the heat and add the salt, oregano, rosemary, thyme, garlic, pepper, juniper berries and bay leaves. Stir until the salt is completely dissolved.
• Transfer the brine to a lidded container and refrigerate until completely cool, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Place the chicken in the brine breast-side down and weigh it down with a heavy plate or a bowl filled with water so it's completely submerged in the brine. Cover and transfer to the refrigerator to brine for 12 hours.
• In a medium bowl, put the olive oil, butter, canola oil, lemon juice, vinegar, herbes de Provence, onion, oregano, rosemary, sugar, pepper, chile flakes, lavender and salt. Whisk together until the butter and oil are fully blended.
• Roast the chicken: Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Remove the chicken from the brine and pat dry inside and out with paper towels.
• In a 13-by-9-inch roasting pan, shingle the potatoes starting from the corner of the pan. Continue shingling until the bottom of the pan is covered in 2 to 3 layers of potatoes.
• Brush the chicken inside and out with half of the baste; reserve the other half for later. Cross the legs of the chicken and tuck them into the tail. Place the chicken breast-side up in the roasting pan and transfer to the oven.
• Roast for approximately 60 minutes, brushing the chicken with the reserved baste every 6 to 8 minutes. When done, both the chicken and potatoes should be golden brown and a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken should read 155 to 160ºF.
• Transfer the chicken to carving board, cover loosely with foil and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Carve the chicken into quarters and serve with the roasted potatoes.

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH HERB BASTING SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• In a bowl, prepare the basting sauce by combining olive oil, onion, garlic, thyme, rosemary, sage, marjoram, salt, pepper, and hot pepper sauce.
• Turn chicken breasts in sauce to coat thoroughly. Place skin side up in a shallow baking dish. Cover.
• Roast at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C), basting occasionally with pan drippings, for about 35 to 45 minutes. Remove to warm platter, spoon pan juices over, and sprinkle with fresh parsley.

ROASTED CHICKEN WITH HERBES DE PROVENCE

Steps:

• Wash and prep chicken. Place in roaster.
• Peel the garlic clove by whacking it with the flat of a knife (yes, you could just take the peel off, but the smashing/bruising releases the flavor as well as removing the peel).
• Put the garlic into the chicken's cavity.
• Put 1/2 the sherry into the cavity and sprinkle half over the chicken's breast.
• Sprinkle the Herbs de Provence over the chicken.
• Roast, covered, at 350F for 60-90 minutes depending on the size of the chicken then remove the lid and roast uncovered another 15-30 minutes until the skin is crisp and the chicken is fully cooked.
• If you want a sauce either use the pan juices to make gravy or deglaze the pan with a little white wine. Either would be delicious.
