Roast Chicken With Chicken Fat Potatoes Recipes

ONE-PAN ROAST CHICKEN & POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Stuff the chicken cavity with 2 lemon halves, 2 rosemary sprigs, 4 onion quarters and some seasoning. Put the chicken into a large roasting tray.
• Crush 3 garlic cloves, then add to a small bowl with the thyme leaves and olive oil, mix, then rub this all over the chicken with some seasoning.
• Arrange the potatoes around the chicken with the rest of the lemons and onions, rosemary and whole garlic cloves, and lemon thyme. Cook in the oven for 1 hr 20 mins, turning the potatoes in the pan once or twice. To check if the chicken is cooked, pierce the thigh with a skewer and the juices should run clear.
• Remove the chicken from the tray and place on a serving dish or board to rest for 15-20 mins. As you lift the chicken, let any juices pour back into the tray. Increase oven temperature to 200C/ 180C fan/gas 6 and cook the potatoes for a further 10-15 mins or until tender.
• If you want gravy, use a slotted spoon to remove the potatoes from the tray to a serving bowl, then use a potato masher to mash all the juices, lemons, herbs and garlic together in the roasting tray, adding a splash of water if it's too pulpy. Push this mix through a sieve, taste the gravy and add some more seasoning if you need to. Bring everything into the garden so everyone can help themselves.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH POTATOES AND VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Rinse the chicken inside and out and pat dry. Generously sprinkle salt and pepper inside the cavity, and then add the rosemary, thyme, onion, garlic and lemon. Once the herbs are inside the cavity, truss the chicken.
• Place the chicken in a roasting pan and rub olive oil over the skin. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and then place in the oven for 15 minutes.
• After 15 minutes, take the chicken out and add the potatoes, shallots and carrots to the pan. Roast until the juices run clear, another 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest on a carving board for about 10 minutes.
• While the chicken is resting, remove the vegetables from the pan and drain most of the chicken fat. On medium heat, add the escarole to the pan and saute until wilted halfway. Combine the Dijon mustard, vegetables and escarole into a serving dish. Carve the chicken, place on top and serve.

ROASTED CHICKEN AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Allow the chicken to rest at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a small bowl or mini prep, mix together the butter with the rosemary, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels, then rub the chicken all over with 3 tablespoons of the herbed butter. Cook's Note: Make sure chicken is dry. Slide some of the butter underneath the breast skin. Tie the chicken legs together with kitchen string.
• In a small roasting pan, pour in the white wine and place the chicken breast side down. Roast for 15 minutes. In a medium bowl, season the potatoes with salt, and pepper and drizzle with oil to coat. Remove the roasting pan from the oven. Remove the chicken to a plate turning it breast-side up. Brush the rest of the herbed butter on top of the chicken. Add the potatoes to the bottom of the pan and place the chicken on top.
• Lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees F, and return the chicken to the oven to finish roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the inner thigh, not touching the bone, reaches 160 degrees F, about 1 hour more. Once done, remove the chicken to a carving board and let rest 10 minutes before carving. Remove the potatoes to a serving bowl.
• Return the roasting pan to the stovetop over high heat. Deglaze the pan with the lemon juice, scraping up the bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.
• To serve: Place slices of chicken on plate with potatoes and drizzle the pan sauce over both.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH CHICKEN FAT POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the cavity and the exterior of the chicken with salt, pepper and the fennel seeds. Stuff the cavity of the chicken with the lemon slices and 7 to 8 thyme sprigs.
• Add the potatoes and fennel to a roasting pan, Dutch oven or cast-iron skillet. Drizzle with the oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss together to evenly coat. Top with the remaining 2 to 3 thyme sprigs. Place the chicken on top of the potatoes and fennel and place on the lower rack of the oven. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and crispy and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken registers 160 to 165 degrees F, about 50 minutes.
• Use tongs to transfer the chicken to a cutting board, letting any extra juices drip onto the potatoes and fennel. Allow the chicken to rest so the juices redistribute into the meat, 25 to 30 minutes. Toss the vegetables to coat in the chicken juices using a large spoon and continue to cook until crisp, about 15 minutes.
• To quarter the chicken, start by removing the thighs and legs and then move to the breast meat. Serve the chicken with the potatoes and fennel, garnish with the reserved fennel fronds and enjoy!

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Cut the stems from the dill and set aside, then roughly chop the leaves. Keep a small handful of the dill leaves to garnish, then mix the rest with the butter and garlic.
• Carefully lift the skin of the chicken breasts and legs, and push about two-thirds of the garlic butter under the skin. Spread it over the meat, then spread the remaining butter over the skin and season. Put the chicken in a large roasting tin and squeeze over the lemon halves, then put them into the cavity along with the dill stalks. Roast the chicken for 20 mins.
• Reduce the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Scatter the potatoes around the chicken, drizzle over the oil and sprinkle with a little salt. Turn the potatoes so they're coated in the oil and any roasting juices from the chicken. Roast for another 1 hr, turning the potatoes occasionally until brown and the chicken is completely cooked through. Sprinkle over the reserved dill leaves and serve.
