Easy Roast Chicken Recipe

As I share in my recipe video, I could roast a chicken every day! And this Easy Roast Chicken Recipe is one of my favorite ways to roast a chicken. The chicken is so flavorful, thanks to the compound butter rubbed under the skin!

Plus, when you follow the steps in the printable recipe, you’ll place the chicken on top of a bed of small cut potatoes. These potatoes will melt in your mouth. They are delicious thanks to roasting under high heat and the infusion of flavor from the garlic and lemons.

Keyword: Chicken, Roast Chicken
Servings: 4 servings
Author: Mary’s Nest

Equipment

  • Cast iron frying pan or roasting pan

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds Small potatoes, cut in half
  • 2 tbsp Herb mix Use any herb mix you enjoy, such as Italian seasoning or Herbs de Provence.
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Red pepper flakes, optional
  • 2 heads Garlic, cut lengthwise
  • 1 whole Onion, red, yellow, or white, peeled and cut into eights
  • 2 whole Lemons, cut in half
  • 1 stick Butter, unsalted and softened
  • 1 whole Chicken, skin on

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 500°F.
  • To the herb mix, add the salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  • Take 1 1/2 teaspoons of the herb salt mix and blend with the olive oil. Toss the potatoes in this mixture, and place them in the bottom of the frying pan or roasting pan.
  • Place the garlic, onions, and lemons around the rim of the pan. Sprinkle these with a little bit of the herb salt mix. Set aside the pan.
  • Loosen the skin of the chicken, taking care not to rip the skin.
  • Take a 1/2 stick of the butter, mix it with a tablespoon of the herb salt mix, and blend well. Gently insert the mixture under the chicken skin. (See video.)
  • Gently lift the chicken and place it into the pan on top of the potatoes. Tie the chicken legs together.
  • Take the remaining butter and herb salt mix and melt together in a small saucepan on low heat.
  • Using a pastry brush, brush the skin of the chicken with the melted butter herb mix. If you do not have a pastry brush, you can spoon the melted butter herb mix over the chicken.
  • Transfer the pan with the chicken to the middle rack of the preheated oven.
  • Roast the chicken at 500°F for 10-20 minutes until the skin is golden brown. Take care not to allow the skin to burn. Once the skin is a golden brown, lower the heat to 350°F for approximately 45 minutes until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches a minimum of 165°F.
  • Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven, allow it to rest for a few minutes. Afterward, slice and serve the chicken along with the potatoes, garlic, onions, and lemons.
  • Wrapped well, the leftovers will stay fresh in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
