Grilled Bundt Pan Provencal Chicken With Roasted Potatoes Recipes

BUNDT PAN ROAST CHICKEN WITH POTATOES

Steps:

• Rub the chicken all over, including the cavity with 1 teaspoon herbes de Provence, 1 tablespoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight; bring the chicken to room temperature 30 minutes before cooking.
• Arrange the rack to the lower third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
• Butter the sides and the bottom of a 10-cup Bundt pan. Cover the tube hole in the middle of the pan with a 6-inch piece of foil. Put the potatoes in the pan along with the 3 smashed garlic cloves, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Toss with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Roast for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix together the lemon zest, paprika, remaining 4 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon herbes de Provence and grated garlic in a small bowl. Pat the chicken dry and spread a little of the butter mixture under the skin of the breasts and thighs. Rub the rest all over the chicken. Sprinkle with a little more salt and pepper and place the chicken cavity on the foil-covered tube over the foil so that the chicken is sitting upright on top of the potatoes.
• Cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh (avoiding the bone) reads at least 165 degrees F, 50 to 55 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes before carving.
• Transfer the potatoes with a slotted spoon to a serving dish. Strain the liquid in the bottom of the pan into a small saucepan and heat until just warmed through. Squeeze in the lemon juice and stir in the parsley. Pour the cooking liquid over the carved chicken and serve with the potatoes on the side.

ROASTED CHICKEN PROVENCAL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Put the tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, olives and anchovies in a large roasting pan. Add the marmalade, oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon water and toss to coat thoroughly.
• Pat the chicken dry, insert the rosemary into its cavity and sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a couple turns of pepper. Push the vegetables to the sides of the roasting pan and put the chicken breast-side up in the center.
• Roast for 30 minutes. Flip the chicken so that it is breast-side down and continue to roast until golden brown all over, about 15 minutes. Flip the chicken back to breast-side up and continue to roast until the vegetables are saucy and tender and the chicken is cooked through (an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh should register 165 degrees F), about 15 minutes more. Let rest for 10 minutes, then cut the chicken into pieces and serve with the vegetables.

PROVENCAL ROASTED CHICKEN WITH HONEY AND THYME

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• For the chicken: Season the chicken cavity with salt and pepper, to taste. Stuff the chicken cavity with the shallot, half the thyme, and lemon zest. Set a v-rack or regular rack in a roasting pan, and brush chicken with a bit of the olive oil. Whisk the honey and remaining oil in a small bowl. Dip the remaining thyme in the mixture and use it to brush the chicken all over with the honey mixture. Season bird with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Tuck the wings under the back, cross the legs, and tie them with kitchen string. Place the chicken breast side down on the rack and roast until the back is golden brown, about 35 to 40 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and turn the chicken breast side up. Cut the string where it holds the legs together and open up the legs a bit. Baste the chicken with the pan drippings, using the thyme sprigs as a brush. Roast the chicken again until the breast is golden brown and a meat thermometer inserted in the thigh registers 170 degrees F., 20 to 25 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a carving board, and let it rest 10 minutes before carving.
• For the sauce: Remove the rack from the roasting pan. Put the pan over medium-high heat, add the water, and stir with a wooden spoon to release the brown bits that cling to the pan. Strain the pan drippings into a small bowl and spoon off the fat. Whisk in the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, shallot, thyme, salt, and pepper to taste. Carve the chicken and serve drizzled with the sauce.
