1. ) ROAST CHICKEN
Who doesn't love roast chicken? To be honest, we prefer chicken over turkey, shh. BUT if you would like to use turkey for this recipe, be our guest :) What you'll need:
Ingredients:
• Whole chicken
• ½ cup of butter
• 3 tablespoons Parsley (dried or fresh)
• 3 tablespoons rosemary (dried or fresh)
• 3 tablespoons of olive oil
• 4 cloves of garlic
• Juice of ½ lemon
• Garlic powder (optional)
• Salt and pepper
Procedures:
1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Pat chicken dry with a paper towel.
Combine oil, butter, parsley, rosemary, minced garlic, and ½ of lemon juice (don’t throw away this lemon).
2. Season your chicken thoroughly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. (Outside of the chicken, in between the chicken skin and meat and inside the chicken cavity).
3. Spread your butter mix all over the chicken and in between the chicken meat and skin (this will keep your chicken moist and the skin crispy). Make sure to put some of the mixtures inside the chicken’s cavity as well for maximum flavor. Save some of the mixtures for basting later.
4. Place the juiced ½ lemon in the chicken cavity.
5. Place chicken on a wired rack on top of a pan with the vegetables in it.
6. Roast for 55 minutes and baste halfway through cooking time. Make sure the juices run clear when you pierce the chicken thigh with a skewer.
7. Baste again and broil for another 10 minutes until golden brown. Remove chicken from the oven and cover with tin foil for 10 minutes. This method will allow the juices to recirculate.
8. While waiting go ahead and make your gravy (optional).
9. Cut the chicken into quarters, serve with gravy.
2.) ROAST VEGETABLES
Next, we're going to need the perfect side vegetables with our perfect roast chicken, trust me, this will be amazing. We don't have specifics for this one, make as much or as little as you want. Here's what you'll need:
Ingredients:
• Carrots
• Potatoes
• Onions
• Bell peppers
Procedures:
1. Cut your vegetables to bite-sized pieces.
2. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil.
3. Place the vegetables underneath the chicken. The vegetables will catch all of the chicken drippings for maximum flavor. ( The vegetables go in the oven with the chicken )
4. Serve as a side once the chicken is cooked.
3.) SIMPLE GRAVY
Last, but most certainly not least. G R A V Y . We couldn't have possibly missed the legend herself. This will bring your meal together :) Here's what you'll need:
Ingredients:
• Chicken drippings (the delicious oil you get from the pan once your chicken is cooked)
• 1 cup of water
• ½ cup of flour
Procedures:
1. Add water to the chicken drippings to make 1 ½ cup of liquid in the bottom of the pan.
2. Scrape down any sticky drippings because that will add to the flavor.
3. Pour this mixture into a saucepan, turn the stove on medium heat and whisk in flour until the mixture is thick but not pasty.
4. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve!
