OH HI IT’S ME making you a delicious, crispy, easy whole roasted chicken dinner
I know this recipe might seem slightly intimidating if you’ve never roasted a chicken before, but it’s fairly easy and simple to do. I’ve lovingly deemed it our “Sunday night chicken dinner” because it’s our family favorite meal to prep for the week ahead. All you’ll need is a whole chicken, some of your fav veggies for roasting, a few simple marinade ingredients, and fresh garnishes to top it all off.
It’s cheap, great for feeding a whole family, and it’s DAMN GOOD. We either eat it as is with a savory feta sauce, shred it to put in soups, salads, and more, or my husband will eat it on his daily lunch sandwiches. Let’s get to it!
Ingredients:
- 1 whole chicken (about 4 pounds)
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil (or sub melted butter or avocado oil)
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound fingerling potatoes or baby gold yukon gold potatoes
- 4 to 5 medium to large carrots
- 1 yellow onion, cut into large chunks
For serving
- 3 tablespoons fresh chopped dill
- 3 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
- Crumbled feta
- Lemon zest
- Whipped Feta Yogurt Sauce, optional
- Arugula, optional for extra greens!
