All In One Roast Chicken Dinner Recipes

ALL-IN-ONE ROAST CHICKEN & VEG

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. In a small roasting tray toss the potatoes with the oil, carrots, courgette, leek, herbs and seasoning. Roast for 30 mins until starting to brown. Remove from the oven and give the veg a stir, nestle in the chicken, then return to the oven for 15 mins. Pour over the stock, then cook for 5 mins more or until the chicken and veg are cooked through.

PERFECT ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Rinse and pat chicken thoroughly dry with paper towels. Mix margarine, garlic salt, black pepper, thyme, parsley, and rosemary in a bowl and rub the outside of the chicken thoroughly with the margarine mixture. Place any remaining margarine mixture into the cavity of the chicken. Place chicken into a glass baking dish.
• Bake chicken in the preheated oven until browned and the juices run clear, about 2 hours. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh, not touching bone, should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

ONE-PAN ROAST DINNER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Snip the string or elastic off the chicken if it's tied up, then place in a big roasting tin. Shove the lemon halves into the cavity. Rub the butter, herbs and seasoning all over the chicken. Put the potatoes and carrots around it, drizzle everything with oil, season and toss together.
• Roast for 20 mins, then turn the oven down to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and roast for 50 mins more. Stir the peas, stock and Marmite into the veg in the tin, then return to the oven for 10 mins more.

ALL-IN-ONE SPRING ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Sit the chicken in a good-sized roasting dish or tin. Push your fingers between the breast and skin to separate, push in some of the softened butter and gently spread over the breasts without tearing the skin. Rub the rest of the butter all over the outside of the chicken. Season well and roast for 30 mins.
• Toss the new potatoes with the olive oil and plenty of seasoning. When the chicken comes out, scatter the spuds around it and toss with the juices in the dish, too. Put back in the oven for another 30 mins.
• Stir the carrots into the potatoes and put back into the oven for another 20 mins.
• Check the chicken is cooked by piercing the thigh and making sure the juices run clear. Stir the broad beans and peas into the other veg with a splash of water and put back in the oven for 5 mins. Remove from the oven, cover loosely with foil and rest for 10 mins. Scatter over and stir in the herbs before serving.

ONE-TRAY ROAST CHICKEN DINNER

Steps:

• Put a chopping board on your work surface. Use a vegetable peeler to peel the potatoes (but make sure you save the potato peel - see our tip below). Cut the potatoes into chunks, about the size of golf balls. Put them in a pan and cover with cold water.
• Put the pan on the hob and turn the heat to high, when the water boils, reduce the heat to medium and set a timer for 8 mins. When the timer beeps, carefully drain the potatoes through a colander in the sink. Leave to dry for a few minutes. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
• Tip the potatoes into your largest roasting tin, add the garlic cloves (no need to peel them first), thyme and drizzle with 2 tbsp oil. Season well and use two spoons to turn the potatoes to coat them in the oil.
• Put the chicken legs amongst the potatoes or on top. Drizzle with the remaining oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Use your oven gloves to carefully place the tin in the centre of the oven and roast for 30 mins.
• Carefully remove the tin from the oven and use your spoons to turn the potatoes again - be careful that the hot fat doesn't splash you. Return the tin to the oven for a further 15 mins.
• Peel the carrots and cut them into long batons, then drizzle with a little extra oil and season.
• Push the potatoes and chicken to one end of the tin and put the carrots at the other end. Return to the oven for 10 mins.
• Remove the tin from the tray and carefully stir the peas into the carrots, then return to the oven for a final 5 mins. When the roast is ready, the chicken and potatoes will be crispy and the veggies will be soft. Test the chicken is ready by piercing the thickest part using a knife - the juices should run clear. If not, return to the oven for a further 5 mins and test again. Serve with gravy, if you like.
