Ingredients
- 6 lb whole chicken
- 1 lemon Cut into Wedges
- 6 Cloves garlic
- 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 5 sprigs fresh thyme
- ½ Pound small yellow potatoes Cut In Half
- 1 small onion Quartered
- 2 carrots Cut Into 1 Inch Pieces
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 Teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 Teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 500℉ and add a 12’ cast iron pan to the oven.
- Using paper towels, pat dry the chicken.
- Stuff the chicken with the lemon wedges, garlic, rosemary and thyme.
- Carefully remove the cast iron pan from the oven, add the potatoes, onions and carrots to the pan and mix them up.
- Place the whole chicken on top of the vegetables. Drizzle the chicken with the olive and sprinkle it with salt and pepper.
- Cook the chicken at 500℉ for 15 minutes then lower the heat to 350℉ and roast until chicken is golden brown and an instant read thermometer inserted to the thickest part of the chicken reads 160℉-165℉.
- Let the chicken rest in the pan for 10 minutes before carving and serving. Serve with the potatoes and carrots, enjoy!
Notes
- The juices left in the pan can be turned into gravy: Remove the chicken and vegetables, add 1 cup of chicken stock, and bring to a simmer. Whisk together 2 Tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water. Whisk into the gravy and stir until thickened.
- You can add any dried herbs or seasoning you love to the chicken, some great choices include Paprika, thyme, garlic, onion, white pepper, sage, and rosemary.
- I recommend removing as much meat from the chicken as possible before storing it. Save the chicken bones to turn into stock.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
