For the Oven Roasted Half Chicken
1. Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the halved chicken dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
2. Season the Chicken
Rub the olive oil mixture all over the chicken halves, ensuring to coat under the skin for extra flavor.
3. Roast the Chicken
Place the chicken halves in a roasting pan, skin side up. Roast in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is crispy.
For the Hand Mashed Potatoes
4. Cook the Potatoes
While the chicken is roasting, place the peeled and cubed russet potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
5. Mash the Potatoes
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Mash with a potato masher until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
For Grilled Asparagus
6. Prepare the Asparagus
While the chicken is roasting and the potatoes are cooking, preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Toss the trimmed asparagus with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
7. Grill the Asparagus
Place the asparagus on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until tender and slightly charred.
For Chicken Jus
8. Make the Jus
In a saucepan, bring the chicken stock to a simmer. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Slowly whisk the slurry into the simmering stock and cook until thickened. Stir in chopped thyme and adjust seasoning.
