Chicken

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the whole chicken in a large zip-lock bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it's well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Cooking the Chicken

  1. 3

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 4

    Roast the Chicken

    Place the marinated chicken on a roasting rack in a roasting pan. Roast for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden brown. Baste occasionally with the pan juices.

Preparing the Vegetables

  1. 5

    Chop the Vegetables

    Chop seasonal vegetables into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 6

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped vegetables, salt, and black pepper. Sauté for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are tender but still crisp.

Roasting the Potatoes

  1. 7

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and cut the Yukon Gold potatoes into quarters. Toss them with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 8

    Roast the Potatoes

    Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until golden and crispy, shaking the pan halfway through.

Serving

  1. 9

    Plate the Dish

    Once everything is cooked, carve the roasted chicken and serve it with sautéed seasonal vegetables and roasted Yukon Gold potatoes. Garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary.
