Recipe information

Make Roasted Chicken in just 1h 30m. With seasonal vegetables and gravy

Preparation of Chicken

1. Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. Prepare Chicken

Remove any giblets from the chicken. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.

3. Season Chicken

Rub the olive oil all over the chicken. Season generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and fresh rosemary both on the skin and inside the cavity.

Vegetable Preparation

4. Chop Vegetables

Peel and chop the carrots, potatoes, onion, bell pepper, and zucchini into chunks.

5. Arrange Vegetables

Place the chopped vegetables in a large roasting pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

Roasting

6. Combine Chicken and Vegetables

Place the seasoned chicken on top of the arranged vegetables in the roasting pan.

7. Roast Chicken

Roast the chicken and vegetables in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear.

Making Gravy

8. Prepare Gravy Base

In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute until it forms a roux.

9. Add Chicken Broth

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth to the roux. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer until thickened, about 5-10 minutes.

10. Season Gravy

Season the gravy with salt and black pepper to taste.

Serving

11. Serve

Once the chicken is done roasting, let it rest for 10 minutes before carving. Serve the chicken with the roasted vegetables and gravy.
