Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Let chicken stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Meanwhile, toss carrots, shallots, potatoes, and lemon with 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Arrange in a large roasting pan, with shallots in center and carrots, potatoes, and lemon toward edges.
Rub chicken with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, tie legs with twine, and nestle in center. Roast, flipping vegetables around edges once, until chicken is golden and a thermometer inserted into thickest part of breast (avoiding bone) registers 160 degrees, 55 to 60 minutes. Transfer chicken and lemon halves to a carving board and tent loosely with foil. Flip vegetables; return to oven and roast until caramelized and tender, 15 to 20 minutes more. Carve chicken and transfer to a platter or return to roasting pan. Sprinkle with parsley, squeeze lemon over top, and serve with vegetables.
Roast Chicken With Vegetables Recipe
Roast Chicken and Vegetables is a classic family favorite recipe. We roast chicken in the oven over a bed of vegetables (carrots, onions, and potatoes) for an entire meal in one dish. I use my famous chicken seasoning and roast until the skin is crispy and the chicken is juicy.
Baked Chicken Breasts are great for a quick meal or to top salads but this whole roasted chicken is a complete meal that requires minimal prep work. We love serving it alongside some dinner rolls for the perfect meal!
When you roast chicken in the oven, start the temperature high and turn it down straight away to seal in all the yummy juices. The starting temperature should be around 450F then turn it down to 350F to complete the cooking!
In this chicken recipe, the chicken is roasted uncovered so the skin crisps up nicely in the oven. If the chicken skin begins to brown too much before the chicken is done, tent it loosely with foil to prevent any further browning while it finishes cooking.
This has become my go-to Roast Chicken recipe when I want something quick and simple. The Chicken Rub, particularly, has so much flavour, and I love that I know exactly what the ingredients are!The chicken was a perfect cook, following the directions; nice and moist.10/10
To create a whole roasted chicken with beautifully browned, crispy skin, this recipe uses a high heat method for the entire cooking time. The seasoned rub contains a mixture of both butter and oil that works with the high heat to crisp and brown the skin as it roasts, while the interior reaches fork tender perfection.
Marinating the chicken overnight is optional but will ensure a juicy, flavorful result. The salt in the butter rub helps to break down the proteins in the chicken, similar to brining. If you are short on time, you can roast the chicken immediately after seasoning.
Carving a whole chicken is easier than carving a turkey, but the steps are basically the same. Check out my Herb Roasted Turkey recipe for detailed carving instructions. For more great visual tips on how to carve a chicken, check out Taste of Home.
Transfer leftovers to an airtight container and refrigerate within 2 hours. If stored properly, cooked chicken will last for 3 to 4 days. For longer storage, cooked chicken should be frozen and used within 2 to 3 months for the best quality.
What Keller recommends (and what we do) is to leave the chicken in the refrigerator, uncovered (on a plate and not touching anything else in the fridge), for 1-2 days after buying it, so that the skin gets a bit dried out. It will roast up crispier this way.
An easy dinner recipe that every home cook should have! This crispy roast chicken with vegetables and potatoes looks impressive, tastes amazing, and only requires 15 minutes of prep. Butter, lemon, garlic, celery, and herbs flavor the juicy meat and the beautiful golden brown exterior. Serve your oven roasted chicken with a loaf of crusty bread, a basket of buttermilk biscuits, or a pan of honey cornbread!
You can even switch it up and serve this roast chicken for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner, rather than a turkey. Pair it with the classic sides like stuffing, sweet potato casserole, and green bean casserole for a special holiday meal.
Allow the chicken to come to room temperature on the counter for at least 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350F. Arrange chicken on a foil-lined baking sheet or roasting pan and place (uncovered) in the oven until the skin is crisp and the chicken is warmed through. Be careful not to leave the chicken in the oven for too long or it will dry out.
This recipe makes a tasty bird! It should be noted that a disposable roasting pan may not throughly cook the veggies. I prepared this twice in those disposable metal roasting pans and once in a glassware roasting dish and the veggies were not evenly cooked, came out good in the glass.
Chicken is great, but the vegetables are a little bland in my opinion. I ended putting them back in after removing the chicken for about 10 minutes under the broiler to really roast and char them up nicely.
The perfect combination of chicken with vegetables is just what every family loves at dinner time. It is big enough to feed a large family or nice to have the extra left overs to make sandwiches or more meals throughout the week. Garlic roasted chicken with vegetables is a tender and savory meal that is comforting and delicious all in one! The chicken is stuffed with rosemary, onion and lemon. Together they create a tender chicken with juicy meat.
A 5 to 6 pound chicken takes about 1 hours to cook through. If the chicken weighs more or less than that you will want to adjust the cooking times according to the weight of the chicken. Cooking chicken can vary depending on how cold the chicken is or the density of the chicken itself. It is best to start with 15 minutes then add 20 minutes per pound of chicken as a rule of thumb. Then using a meat thermometer checking for the internal temperature of the chicken to reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
For this chicken with vegetables recipe it does not need to be covered. Leaving the chicken uncovered will help the skin crisp up nicely in the oven. If you feel that the chicken is browning quickly create a loose fitting tent shape foil to prevent any further browning while it finishes cooking.
Check on the chicken throughout the roasting process. If you see that the chicken is not browning simply brush it will more herb butter over top or baste with the juices from the bottom of the pan to keep the chicken moist and adding a crips outside layer. Using this method will make the chicken crispy quickly. Watch over the chicken after this process is done to make sure it does not brown too much.
Internal Temperature: Use an oven-safe thermometer while the chicken roasts, or insert an instant thermometer into the deepest part of the thigh (without touching bone) and it should register at 165F when done.
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.

Hi Natasha, I fixed the chicken today for a dinner for four this evening and it was delicious. Everyone loved the flavor. It is going to be my favorite way to fix chicken from now on. It is very simple and fast Thank you for sharing all your recipes and expertise.
I tried this today on a Sunday afternoon and it was absolutely delicious and so easy to do. I live with my son and daughter in law and I often fix dinner to help out as she is a teacher. They loved it as well and using leftovers to make a pasta salad. The lemon and garlic flavors are amazing and the chicken was so juicy. I was delighted with how it turned out. Love your recipes and many blessings to you and your beautiful family!! I will be trying more. Love them !!
Hi NatashaIn South Africa, gizzards of the chicken are seldom included However if they are they could b used to make gravy. Alternatively I used them to make stuffing, without the neck put the gizzards in a food processor, add an onion, cup of breadcrumbs, sage, chicken spice, an egg and mix together to stuff the chicken. Try it ?
I really loved this recipe, the chicken and veggies came out delicious. Thank you much for this easy gem of a recipe. I took inspiration from one of your other recipes and added a step further or putting a butter/lemon/parsley combo under the chicken breast skin and it came out super moist and delicious!
