Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped, divided
2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 (4-4 1/2-pound) whole chicken
1 pound golden new potatoes, quartered
2 bunches radishes (about 18 radishes), halved, greens reserved, trimmed, rinsed
3/4 cup cilantro leaves with tender stems
3/4 cup parsley leaves with tender stems
2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

Place rack in middle of oven; preheat to 425°F. Mix mayonnaise, pepper, paprika, 2 chopped garlic cloves, and 1 1/2 tsp. salt in a medium bowl.
Pat inside and outside of chicken dry. From edge of cavity, loosen skin from breasts and thighs. Push all but 2 Tbsp. mayonnaise mixture under skin, then gently rub outside of skin to evenly distribute over breasts and legs. Tie together legs with kitchen twine. Transfer chicken to a rimmed baking sheet and roast 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, toss potatoes and radishes in bowl with reserved mayonnaise mixture.
Reduce oven temperature to 400°F. Remove pan from oven, arrange potatoes and radishes in a single layer in pan, and continue to roast until potatoes and radishes are crisp-tender and chicken juices run clear when thigh is pierced with a fork and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165°F, 18-20 minutes more.
Meanwhile, pulse cilantro, parsley, oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, 1 1/2 cups radish tops, 1 Tbsp. water, and remaining 2 garlic cloves and 1/2 tsp. salt in a food processor until coarsely chopped.
Transfer chicken to a cutting board; let rest 15 minutes. Carve, serve with potatoes and radishes, and top with salsa verde.
Do Ahead
Salsa verde can be made 4 days ahead. Transfer to a resealable container, cover with a thin layer of oil, and chill.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Free-range organic chicken, 3 1/2 pounds
Sea salt
black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 lemon (preferably Meyer)
1 tablespoon capers
2 anchovy fillets
3 cloves garlic (peeled, green germ removed)
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup arugula, chopped
1/4 cup basil leaves, chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon tarragon leaves
1 tablespoon fresh chives
1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Steps:

Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Wash the chicken in hot water and dry with paper towels. Using kitchen shears, cut out the backbone of the chicken and remove any fat. Then, using a heavy chef's knife, cut out the breastbone. Season the two halves with sea salt and fresh black pepper. Dab an earthenware or metal baking dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place the chicken halves inside it, skin side up. Sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Cut the lemon in half and place the halves, cut side down, next to the chicken in the baking dish. Roast for 35 minutes, basting every 8 minutes. Rotate the pan during basting to allow for even cooking. The chicken is done when the juices from the thigh run clear (about 165 degrees).
Meanwhile, make the salsa verde. Rinse capers in cold water, then drain. Soak anchovies in cold water for 5 minutes, then pat dry and remove the bones. Using a mortar and pestle (or a small mixer if you are in a hurry), smash the capers, anchovies and garlic with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl. Add all the herbs and remaining olive oil. (The mixture should be chunky, not oily.) Season with sea salt. Serve the chicken topped with the salsa verde, and garnish with the roasted lemon.
