Ingredients

Servings  4   Serving Size   4 ounces chicken plus 1/2 potato and 1/2 cup vegetables

  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon herbs de Provence OR
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning blend
  • 2 teaspoons pepper
  • 2 medium baking potatoes, peeled, or 1 1/2 pounds fingerling potatoes, about 12, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 large carrots (cut into 1-inch pieces)
  • 1 large onion (cut into 8 wedges)
  • 6 medium garlic (left whole)
  • 1 2 1/2- to 3-pound chicken, all visible fat, neck, and giblets discarded, leaving the skin on, patted dry with paper towels

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a large sheet pan or baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together the garlic powder, herbs de Provence, and pepper. Set aside.
  3. Arrange the potatoes, carrots, onion, and garlic in a single layer on the baking sheet. Nestle the chicken among the vegetables.
  4. Using a paring knife, cut six 1-inch slits into the chicken skin. Put one teaspoon margarine into each slit.
  5. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Drizzle the oil over all.
  6. Bake, uncovered, for 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, the potatoes are fork-tender, and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  7. Remove the pan from the oven. Transfer the vegetables to a serving bowl. Cover to keep warm.
  8. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board. Let the stand, covered, for 10 minutes before carving. Discard the skin before serving.

Cooking Tip: Use a meat thermometer if you have one. Place the probe in the thickest part of the thigh or breast, making sure to avoid any bone. The internal temperature should be 165˚F.

Cooking Tip: Herbes de Provence is a fragrant blend of dried herbs, traditionally from the Provence region of France. To make your own herbs de Provence, in a small bowl, stir together 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, 1 teaspoon dried savory, 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram, 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, and 1/4 teaspoon dried basil. This yields the 1 tablespoon needed for this recipe. Or, substitute your favorite seasonings!

Cooking Tip: Substitute new potatoes, sweet potatoes, or fresh beets for the baking potatoes.

Tip: Buying a whole chicken can help save money, costing less than precut chicken parts.
