Chicken

Buttermilk Mash

Vegetables

Pan Jus

Method

Preparing the Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine buttermilk, salt, black pepper, olive oil, rosemary, and minced garlic. Submerge the half chicken in the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Roast the Chicken

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it in a roasting pan. Roast for 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Baste occasionally with the pan juices.

Making the Buttermilk Mash

  1. 3

    Cook the Potatoes

    Boil the cubed potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.

  2. 4

    Mash the Potatoes

    Add buttermilk, butter, salt, and pepper to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Sautéing the Vegetables

  1. 5

    Prepare the Peas and Carrots

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced carrots and sauté for about 5 minutes. Add peas, salt, and pepper, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until tender.

Making the Pan Jus

  1. 6

    Prepare the Jus

    In the roasting pan, after removing the chicken, add chicken stock and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in butter and rosemary, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
