Engagement Dinner “Fresh Herb Roasted Chicken & Potatoes”

Preheat oven to 450F.

Clean chicken and place in a roasting pan. Peel potatoes and add to chicken in the roasting pan.

Peel garlic and slice into quarter pieces and set aside. Clean the fresh oregano, sage and rosemary and set aside.

Cut butter into ½ slices and begin rubbing under the skin of the chicken, take the garlic and three sprigs each of the herbs and place under the skin of chicken.

Place the remaining herb sprigs in roasting pan around the chicken and potatoes and sprinkle salt and pepper onto everything. Add olive oil and chicken stock to the roasting pan.

Cut lemon in half and squeeze onto chicken and potatoes. Tent the roasting pan with a piece of foil and place in oven.

Bake for 50 minutes. Check every twenty minutes and baste the chicken and potatoes with juices. At about 10 minutes prior to removing from oven remove foil so potatoes and chicken get a golden slightly crispy color.

Plate and serve immediately!
