Pimento Cheese Polenta

Baby Carrots

White Barbecue Sauce

Method

Roast Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Rub the entire chicken with olive oil and season generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and thyme. Squeeze lemon juice over the chicken and place the lemon halves inside the cavity.

  2. 2

    Roast the Chicken

    Place the chicken in a roasting pan, breast side up, and roast for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.

Pimento Cheese Polenta

  1. 3

    Cook the Polenta

    In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Gradually whisk in polenta and reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring frequently, until thickened (about 20 minutes).

  2. 4

    Finish the Polenta

    Stir in pimento cheese, butter, and salt until creamy. Remove from heat and set aside.

Baby Carrots

  1. 5

    Prepare and Roast Carrots

    Toss baby carrots with honey, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until tender.

White Barbecue Sauce

  1. 6

    Make the Sauce

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
