A Family Favorite.

I’m gonna let you in on a little secret: I am awful at making dinner. And lunch. I could eat breakfast alllll day long, and bake until my heart’s content. But meal-times are a constant struggle for me. 

Of course meal planning is my life saver (which is why I wrote Gluten-Free Meal Planning Made Simple), and my other life saver is my Instant Pot. But on days when I forget to plan, or my IP is in use making homemade yogurt, this favorite roast chicken is my stand-by.

Winner winner chicken dinner.

This favorite roast chicken is just that: my family’s favorite. They could eat it every night. The spices are perfect and the juice and oil from the chicken slightly caramelize, giving the veggies a delicious sweetness. Our favorite veggies to use are carrots and potatoes, but you could use whatever you have on hand. For paleo I use sweet potatoes, for GAPS I just use carrots.

I’ve been making this chicken for years now, and have use both whole organic chickens (yay Costco!) and split broiler-fryers. They both works deliciously. For the whole chickens the cook-time is about half an hour longer, but that probably depends on the size of the bird. Mine are usually around 3 pounds.

You might notice I didn’t include measurements for the herbs and spices. That’s because I don’t ever measure them. I just sprinkle them across the chicken until it looks fairly well coated, then call it good! You really can’t go wrong…

More chickeny goodness.

Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400.

Place veggies in a 9×13 inch baking dish. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. 

Add the chicken on top of the veggies (if you don’t have a lot of veggies, they can go around the chicken). Rub chicken with oil and season with herbs, salt, and pepper. Place the chicken legs up for a whole chicken, and skin-side up for the split boilers.

For a whole chicken:

Bake for about 1 1/2 hours, or until internal temperature reaches 165F and juices are clear and not bloody.

For a split boiler:

Bake for about 1 hour, or until internal temperature reaches 165F and juices are clear and not bloody.
