Stuffing the roast chicken with fresh herbs infuses it with flavor; the high oven temperature yields crisp skin and juicy meat. Throw carrots and other vegetables in and it becomes a one-pot dinner!

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 whole chicken (3 1/2 to 4 pounds), rinsed and patted dry
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/2 bunch thyme
1/2 bunch parsley
2 leeks (white and light-green parts only), halved lengthwise, then crosswise, and rinsed well
3 medium carrots, cut into 3-inch lengths
1 pound small red potatoes, any large ones halved
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Season chicken inside and out with salt and pepper and place in a roasting pan. Stuff thyme and parsley in cavity. In a large bowl, toss leeks, carrots, and potatoes with oil; season with salt and pepper. Scatter vegetables around chicken, arranging potatoes at edges of pan; pour wine into pan. Roast until chicken is golden brown and juices run clear when pierced between breast and leg (an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of a thigh, avoiding bone, should read 165 degrees), about 1 hour.
