Roast Chicken
Ingredients:
1 onion
1-1/2 cups carrots
4 small potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
salt
pepper
olive oil
1 whole fryer, in pieces
salt
pepper
3 cloves garlic
butter
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut the onion into rounds and lay them down on a lined baking sheet. This will make a nice ‘bed’ for the chicken. Arrange the carrots and potatoes around the onion. Season with salt and pepper and little olive oil. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
Take the pan out, arrange the chicken on top, skin side up. Season again with salt and pepper, both under and on top of the skin. Smash the garlic cloves and scatter over and around the chicken. Add bits of butter to the top of the chicken then cook for 35-40 minutes depending on your oven.
I’ve invited the family to ours this xmas for a traditional dinner, so obviously the roast is pretty central to that.. I found a lot of recipes at this roast recipes site, but cant seem to decide on one in particular – there’s too many to choose from! It is fun planning such a big christmas meal though!
