Rotisserie Chicken With Roasted Vegetables Recipes

ROTISSERIE CHICKEN & ROASTED VEGGIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Prepare bundt pan by covering the hole and center pillar with aluminum foil.
• Wash and cut veggies into chunks. Place in a large bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Pour veggies into bundt pan.
• Brush the chicken with olive oil and season with the remaining salt, pepper, and rosemary. Perch the chicken on the pillar in the bundt pan.
• Roast for 1 hour or until a thermometer inserted into the inner thigh reads 155 degrees. Let rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

ROTISSERIE CHICKEN AND ROASTED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Rub olive oil on the trussed chicken, season with rosemary leaves, sea salt, and black pepper. Put onto the rotisserie spit being careful to tighten the wing nuts so the chicken doesn't slip during cooking. If a rotisserie isn't available, roasting the chicken in a 350 degree oven and turning every 30 minutes will have a similar result.
• In either case, put the vegetables into a roasting pan, toss with olive oil and season with sea salt and pepper. If using an oven, put the chicken on a roasting rack over the pan. If using a rotisserie, position the chicken on the spit so its juices will drip onto the vegetables.
• Every 30 minutes, toss the vegetables for uniform cooking.
• Cook for 2 hours or until the legs move easily, remove, lay a piece of aluminum foil over the chicken to let it rest 5 minutes. Put the vegetables on a plate and either lay the whole chicken on top or, what I prefer for ease-of-serving, cut apart the chicken and slice the breast pieces.

ROAST CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 385 degrees F (196 degrees C).
• Pour olive oil into a large bowl; toss potatoes, carrots, bite-size pieces of celery, and 3/4 of the sliced onion in the oil to coat. Set remaining onion aside. Transfer oiled vegetables to a large cast iron skillet.
• Rinse chicken and pat thoroughly dry with paper towels. Generously season the chicken, inside and out, with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Place the remaining 1/4 of the sliced onion, 1/4 cup margarine, lemon slices, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, and large pieces of celery into the cavity of the chicken.
• Place the chicken atop the oiled vegetables; scatter remaining 1/4 cup of margarine pieces and 1 2/3 tablespoon minced garlic in small amounts around the vegetables.
• Roast chicken and vegetables in the preheated oven until the skin is browned and crisp, the vegetables are tender, and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh reads 165 degrees F (75 degrees C), about 1 hour and 45 minutes. Let chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving with vegetables.

JUICY ROAST CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Place chopped potatoes, carrots, onion, half of a head of garlic, and 2 sprigs of rosemary in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with 1 Tbsp olive oil and season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
• Place chicken in a roasting pan. Remove giblets from chicken and pat dry inside and outside with paper towels. Season inside the chicken with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Stuff the chicken with 1/2 of the garlic head, 2 lemon halves, and 2 sprigs of rosemary.
• Melt 2 Tbsp of butter. Brush the chicken all over the top and sides with melted butter then season all over with 2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
• Tie the legs together and tuck the wings under the bird. Spread veggies around the chicken. Roast in the oven uncovered at 425˚F for 80 to 90 minutes (depending on size of chicken*) until internal temperature of the thigh reaches 165˚F or until the juices run clear when you cut into the thigh.
• Transfer chicken and veggies to a platter, tent with foil, and let rest at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
