Roasted Chicken & Vegetables

The seasoning on the chicken with that crispy skin and a good variety of vegetables made this one fantastic meal!

Rub oil over the potatoes.

Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel and using oven safe twine, tie the legs together.

Place the chicken in the center of the roasting pan. Rub a thin layer of oil all over the chicken skin. Combine the seasonings and rub them over the chicken on both sides. Place the prepared vegetables in a single layer around the chicken. Add chicken broth and season the vegetables with salt and pepper to taste.

Bake in a preheated 425º oven on the bottom third rack, uncovered, for 60 – 75 minutes or until the thickest part of the chicken is 165º and the vegetables are tender.

    • It was the crispiest skin I have ever had on a roasted chicken. I think it was due to the oil and seasonings and I will definitely be making this again. Thank you Ab!

  1. Ahh – the crispy skin was always the best. As the “baby” of the household, I got to have the crispy topping on the au gratin potatoes, the chicken crispy topping – all those good things back in the day.
