    Baked Chicken and Potatoes

    Baked chicken potatoes are an easy and healthy one-pan meal the entire family will love.  It's made with a whole chicken fryer, potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, and onions.  It's seasoned with an incredible garlic butter paste that turns the skin of the chicken into a crispy, flavorful coating.  The chicken is tender, juicy and seasoned just right.  

    Roasted Chicken and Vegetables

    You can substitute the vegetables for any root vegetable.  If your family just loves sweet potatoes, do that.  If your family loves all red potatoes, do that.  This is a versatile and easily adaptable meal.

    Oven Roasted Chicken Breast Bone-In

    You can also use this recipe and technique to make oven-roasted chicken breast bone-in.  The butter, seasoning and garlic spread is incredible on bone-in chicken breast.  Just roast the chicken and vegetables on a baking sheet to ensure it all gets done evenly. 

    Dutch Oven Roast Chicken

    You can also make this recipe in a dutch oven.  Just add the chicken and vegetables into the dutch oven.  You may need to reduce the number of vegetables in the dutch oven because it isn't quite as big as a 9 by 13" roasting pan. 

    Oven-roasted chicken quarters

    This recipe for roasted chicken also works great for oven-roasted chicken quarters.  Just cut the vegetables into 1 ½" chunks so they cook a little faster.  The cooking time of the recipe will also be reduced.  Start by cooking the chicken quarters for 35 minutes and check the internal temperature.  Continue cooking until the internal temperature, white and dark meat reaches 165 degrees.

    How To Roast A Chicken In The Oven 

    • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

    Preparing the Chicken

    • Remove the giblets from the chicken if there are any. (You'll need to reach into the neck cavity of the chicken and remove the neck and any innards. Do not wash the chicken but at the chicken dry with a paper towel. Stick a half lemon in the cavity of the chicken. Tie the legs together with a piece of string and tuck the wings underneath the chicken. 
    • Lightly salt and pepper the entire chicken.
    • In a small mixing bowl, add the room temperature butter, the entire packet of Good Seasonings Italian Dressing, and minced garlic.
    • Use a fork and mash all the ingredients together until smooth.
    • Use a fork, spoon or your hand to smear the butter mixture all over the chicken. (It's okay if its a little clumpy.  The butter will melt with the heat and it will leave a nice golden garlicky crust on the outside of the chicken. 

    How to Oven Roast a Whole Chicken

    • Put the chicken into a glass baking dish, dutch oven, or cast-iron skillet.
    • Wash and cut up the potatoes, carrots, and onions into 2" chunks.  Lightly coat the vegetables with cooking oil before placing them around the chicken. Sprinkle the vegetables with garlic salt.
    • Bake in a 400 degree preheated oven for 45 minutes. With a meat thermometer, check the internal temperature of the chicken. If the skin on the chicken is golden brown, cover the chicken loosely with aluminum foil and continue to bake until the internal temperature of the chicken is 165 degrees. The cooking time will probably be somewhere around 100-120 minutes.
    • Take the chicken out of the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

    Notes

    Frequently Asked Questions:

    How do you roast a chicken with potatoes?

    Put the chicken in a baking dish, roasting pan or dutch oven.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper or your favorite seasonings.  Add potatoes, carrots, and onions if desired and roast in a 400-degree oven for 60-120 minutes depending on the size of your chicken or until the juices run clear. 

    What is the best pan to roast a chicken in?

    You can use a cast-iron skillet, pyrex baking dish, or dutch oven. A pan with built-in handles is best. 

    How long do you bake a whole chicken at 375 degrees?

    1. 2-½ to 3 pounds: Roast at 375 degrees F for 1 to 1-¼ hours.
    2. 3 to 3-½ pounds: Roast at 375 degrees F for 1-¼ to 1-½ hours.
    3. 3-½ to 4 pounds: Roast at 375 degrees F for 1-¼ to 1-¾ hours.
    4. 4-½ to 5 pounds: Roast at 375 degrees F for 1-½ to 2 hours.

    Do you roast a chicken covered or uncovered?

    Roasting is a technique that relies on high heat to create crispy golden skin and tender, juicy meat. To roast chicken, cook it in a heavy roasting pan at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake the chicken until it's golden brown.  Check the internal temperature of the meat.  Chicken is done baking when the internal temp reaches 165 degrees. If your chicken isn't quite done baking on the inside but it's golden on the outside, lay a sheet of aluminum foil loosely on top of the chicken until it comes up to temperature.  

    What is the difference between roasting and baking a chicken?

    Roasting requires a higher temperature (400°F and above) to create a browned, flavorful “crust” on the outside of the food being cooked, while baking occurs at lower oven temperatures (up to 375°F). Covered pan: Roasting is typically done in an open, uncovered pan, while items that are baked may be covered.
    How do I know when my chicken is done?
    The most foolproof way to know when a chicken is done is to insert a well-calibrated instant-read thermometer into the meat near the inner thigh (between the leg and the breast, but make sure you're not hitting bone). If the thermometer reads between 160° and 165°, it's done.
