Method

Roasting the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Rub the chicken with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Place in a roasting pan.

  2. 2

    Roast the Chicken

    Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Baste occasionally with pan juices.

Making Garlicky Potatoes

  1. 3

    Prepare the Potatoes

    While the chicken is roasting, wash the baby potatoes and cut them in half. Toss with minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  2. 4

    Roast the Potatoes

    Add the potatoes to the roasting pan with the chicken for the last 30 minutes of cooking, until golden and tender.

Preparing Tomato-Onion Relish

  1. 5

    Mix the Relish

    While the chicken and potatoes are roasting, chop the tomatoes and red onion. Combine in a bowl with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Stir well.

Serving

  1. 6

    Assemble the Dish

    Once the chicken is roasted, let it rest for 10 minutes before carving. Serve half of the chicken with garlicky potatoes, tomato-onion relish, and pickles on the side.
