Ingredients

  • 1 whole chicken (4-5 lbs.)
  • 40 cloves garlic, peeled
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • fresh oregano
  • 1 onion, peeled and sliced into chunks
  • 3 carrots, peeled and sliced into chunks
  • 1 pound baby potatoes for roasting (optional)
  • extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Clean your chicken and pat it dry. Place all the garlic cloves inside the chicken cavity, along with a few sprigs of fresh oregano. Truss your chicken.

  2. Place the chicken in the Dutch oven on top of the vegetables.
  3. If roasting potatoes, place them around the chicken in the Dutch oven.
  4. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Pour broth into the dutch oven. Place the lid on.
  5. Place the chicken into the oven and let it roast for about 2 hours, till the internal temperature reaches at least 170 degrees F (use a meat thermometer to check for doneness). The roasting time will vary based on the size of your bird-- you want it to roast till it's well cooked, but not so long that it dries out. I recommend basting every 15 minutes with the broth and pan juices. During the last 15-20 minutes of roasting, drizzle the chicken skin with olive oil-- this will help it turn dark and crispy.
  6. Remove and let stand before carving. Carve and serve with a smile.

Notes

  • You will also need: a Dutch oven with lid, large enough to hold the chicken
  • Tips and Tricks: You can add honey over the chicken if desired; this adds extra sweetness, but will make the skin turn quite black. You can use any type of a kosher sauce over top as well. I like to roast extra garlic with this so we can use it as a spread on rolls (during Passover, you can spread it on matzo!).
