Tarragon chicken roast with garlic potatoes

Tarragon chicken roast with garlic potatoes

    Here is another one of my go to meals for my family. When whole chickens are on sale I often buy a couple, freeze one and cook the other one as a roast.

    Ingredients

    • 1 Whole chicken
    • 6 Medium potatoes (Cut in large chunks)
    • 1 Head of garlic (Peeled)
    • 1 tbsp. Dried terragon (Or to taste)
    • 3 tbsp. Olive oil
    • Salt
    • Pepper

    Instructions

    1. Preheat the oven to 420°F. Position the rack in the middle of the oven.
    2. Place the chicken, breast side up, in a medium baking dish.
    3. Place the potatoes and garlic cloves in a bowl. Add 2 tbsp of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix until well coated. Transfer to the baking dish. Make sure the chicken is in the middle and the potatoes around it.
    4. Season the chicken with terragon. Drizzle with the rest of olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
    5. Bake for 1 hour 20 minutes.
    6. Let the chicken rest for about 15 minutes before serving. Keep the potatoes in the oven (turned off) to keep warm.

    • This looks delicious! I think I'm going to pick up some chickens from Costco next time I go. Jared needs to get over his issues eating whole chicken. This looks too good not to try. Haha.

        • I made this for dinner tonight and it turned out SO well. I followed the recipe exactly (used sweet potatoes because that's what I had in the house) and it was so tasty. I was a little worried that my chicken was on the small side, but I still cooked it for the full 1 hr 20 min and it turned out moist and tender. Thank you for this recipe! Nice to have a very simple, go-to for whole chickens. Now I get to use the carcass for broth!
