Method

Herb Roasted Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Rinse the whole chicken under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    In a small bowl, combine olive oil, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken, including under the skin.

  3. 3

    Add Lemon

    Cut the lemon in half and place one half inside the cavity of the chicken. Squeeze the juice of the other half over the chicken.

  4. 4

    Roast the Chicken

    Place the chicken on a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  5. 5

    Rest the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.

Golden Mash

  1. 6

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into equal-sized chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with water.

  2. 7

    Boil the Potatoes

    Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.

  3. 8

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Grilled Asparagus

  1. 9

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Trim the tough ends of the asparagus and rinse under cold water.

  2. 10

    Season the Asparagus

    In a bowl, toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 11

    Grill the Asparagus

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the asparagus for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and slightly charred.
