Half Roasted Chicken Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Chicken

   Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the chicken halves dry with paper towels. Rub olive oil over the chicken and season with salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme.

2. 2

   Roast the Chicken

   Place the chicken halves skin-side up in a roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is golden brown.

3. 3

   Prepare the Mushrooms

   While the chicken is roasting, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Sauté until the mushrooms are golden brown and tender, about 5-7 minutes.

4. 4

   Blanch the Broccoli Rabe

   In a separate pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli rabe and blanch for about 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.

5. 5

   Serve

   Once the chicken is done, let it rest for 10 minutes. Serve the roasted chicken with a side of mashed potatoes, sautéed mushrooms, and blanched broccoli rabe.
