ROAST CHICKEN



Roast Chicken image

With an ingredient list just four items long (chicken, olive oil, salt, pepper), the genius of this bare-bones roast chicken is in its technique. To make it, thoroughly preheat a cast-iron skillet before sliding into it a seasoned bird, breast side up. In under an hour you'll get a stunner of a chicken, with moist, tender white meat, crisp, salty chicken skin, and juicy dark meat all done to a turn. If you don't already have a cast-iron skillet large enough to hold a whole chicken, this recipe is a good enough reason to invest in one.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 whole chicken, 3 to 4 pounds, trimmed of excess fat
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Put a cast-iron skillet on a low rack in the oven and heat the oven to 500 degrees. Rub the chicken all over with the oil and sprinkle it generously with salt and pepper.
  • When the oven and skillet are hot, carefully put the chicken in the skillet, breast side up. Roast for 15 minutes, then turn the oven temperature down to 350 degrees. Continue to roast until the bird is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the meaty part of the thigh reads 155 to 165 degrees.
  • Tip the pan to let the juices flow from the chicken's cavity into the pan. Transfer the chicken to a platter and let it rest for at least 5 minutes. Carve and serve.

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 3 1/2 to 4 pound chicken
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 fennel bulb, sliced lengthwise 1/2-inch thick
2 large parsnips, peeled, sliced 1/2-inch thick on the diagonal
1 bunch scallions
3 wide strips lemon zest
Lemon wedges (for serving)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high. Season chicken inside and out with salt and pepper and cook, breast side down, until a beautiful golden brown. Use tongs to gently rotate chicken, being careful not to tear skin, and brown on all sides, 12-15 minutes total; transfer to a plate. Reserve skillet. Toss fennel, parsnips, scallions, and lemon zest in skillet with remaining 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Place chicken, breast side up, on top of vegetables. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of chicken thigh registers 165°, 35-40 minutes. (You can also check doneness by cutting into thigh meat right at the joint. If the juices run clear, the bird is ready.) Transfer chicken to a cutting board and let rest at least 10 minutes before carving. Serve chicken and vegetables with pan juices for spooning over and lemon wedges.

CAST-IRON ROAST CHICKEN WITH FENNEL AND CARROTS



Cast-Iron Roast Chicken with Fennel and Carrots image

The only nonnegotiables for roast chicken recipes are a) being generous with the kosher salt inside and out and b) letting the chicken sit out for at least an hour, which gives the seasoning time to work its way deep into the meat, meaning every bite is delicious through and through.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (3 1/2-4-pound) whole chicken
Kosher salt
2 fennel bulbs, cut into 6 wedges each
1 pound small carrots, scrubbed, cut into 4-inch-long pieces on a diagonal
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season generously with salt, inside and out. (We use 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1/2 tsp. Morton kosher salt per lb.) Tie legs together with kitchen twine. Let sit 1 hour to allow salt to penetrate, or chill, uncovered, up to 1 day ahead.
  • Place a rack in upper third of oven and set a 12" cast-iron skillet or 3-qt. enameled cast-iron baking dish on rack. Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Meanwhile, toss fennel, carrots, and 2 Tbsp. oil in a large bowl to coat; season with salt and pepper.
  • Once oven reaches temperature, pat chicken dry with paper towels and lightly coat with half of remaining oil. Drizzle remaining oil into hot skillet (this helps keep the chicken from sticking and tearing the skin). Place chicken in the center of skillet and arrange vegetables around. Roast until fennel and carrots are golden brown in spots and tender an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of breasts registers 155°F, 50-60 minutes (temperature will climb to 165°F as chicken rests). Let chicken rest in skillet at least 20 minutes and up to 45 minutes.
  • Transfer chicken to a cutting board and carve. Serve with vegetables.
