Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chickens

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Rinse the whole chickens under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the Chickens

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic cloves, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chickens, inside and out.

  3. 3

    Roast the Chickens

    Place the seasoned chickens in a roasting pan, breast side up. Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  4. 4

    Prepare the Family Sides

    While the chickens are roasting, prepare the mashed potatoes by boiling peeled potatoes until tender, then mashing with butter and milk. For the green beans, steam until bright green and tender.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Salad

    Wash and chop the romaine lettuce, slice the cucumber, and halve the cherry tomatoes. Toss together in a large bowl with Caesar dressing.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Croissants

    Warm the croissants in the oven for about 5 minutes or until lightly toasted.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Once the chickens are done, let them rest for 10 minutes before carving. Serve the roasted chicken with mashed potatoes, green beans, salad, and warm croissants.
