Description

This recipe is made more than any other recipe in my kitchen. When you butterfly the chicken and roast it at a high temperature first, you get a fabulous chicken skin without overcooking the meat. I also never cut the backbone out of my chicken because the best skin and meat is on the backbone.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CHICKEN:
  • 1 whole Chicken
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Salt And Pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon Herbes De Provence
  • FOR THE POTATOES:
  • 5 whole Sweet And/or Golden Potatoes
  • ½ cups Butter
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon Finely Chopped Herbs Such As Thyme, Sage, And/or Rosemary
  • Sour Cream, To Serve (optional)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425°F.

Butterfly the chicken with sharp kitchen shears and lay in a large roasting pan, breast-side up. Drizzle liberally with oil, then season well with salt and pepper. Sprinkle evenly with herbs. Place in the oven for 20 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 365ºF.

Once chicken is in the oven, prepare potatoes by chopping into ½-inch cubes and placing in a roasting pan. Melt butter over low heat and sauté garlic for one minute. Pour garlic butter over potatoes and season to taste with salt and pepper. Add chopped herbs and toss potatoes until they are well-coated with butter and seasonings. Add potatoes to the oven when heat is reduced to 365°F.

Continue roasting chicken and potatoes for 50-60 minutes, tossing potatoes every 15 minutes, until chicken skin is crispy and golden brown, and potatoes are soft and slightly caramelized. (You may wish to add some of the cooking liquid from the chicken to the potatoes while roasting.) Slice chicken pieces and serve with potatoes and sour cream (optional).
