Rosemary Roasted Chicken With Potatoes Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 whole chicken (about 3-4 lbs)
  • 4 cups potatoes (cut into wedges)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary (chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 lemon juiced

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Make sure the oven is fully heated before placing the chicken inside.
  2. Prepare the Chicken

    Rinse the chicken and pat it dry with paper towels. Rub it with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and half of the rosemary.

    Ensure to coat the chicken evenly for the best flavor.
  3. Prepare the Potatoes

    In a large bowl, combine the potato wedges with olive oil, lemon juice, remaining rosemary, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.

    Use fresh potatoes for a crispier texture.
  4. Arrange in Baking Dish

    Place the chicken in a roasting pan and arrange the potatoes around it.

    Position the chicken breast side up for even cooking.
  5. Roast the Chicken

    Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

    Baste the chicken with its juices halfway through for extra moisture.
  6. Rest and Serve

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

    Resting allows the juices to redistribute for a juicier chicken.
