Roast Chicken with Carrots & Potatoes
One of our favorite Sunday dinners has to be Roasted Free-Range Chicken with Carrots & Potatoes. This is an easy but delicious recipe which the whole family will enjoy!

Roast Chicken with Carrots & Potatoes
Ingredients
- 1 lb carrots
- 2 lb potatoes (we like to use whatever's fresh at the farmers' market)
- 1 bulb of garlic
- 6 sprigs of fresh rosemary
- olive oil
- 1 medium (3.8 - 4.2 lbs) whole pasture-raised, free-range chicken
- 1 lemon, Quartered
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 5 springs of fresh thyme
- 1 small bunch (about 1/4 cup) of fresh sage leaves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 475°. Rinse chicken under cold water; pat dry with paper towels.
- Scrub the carrots and potatoes.
- If you have large carrots, trim and halve, or cut to 2-inch pieces. Add to roasting pan.
- Peel and halve the potatoes. If you have larger potatoes, feel free to quarter them.
- Break the garlic bulb into cloves, leaving them unpeeled, and lightly crush with the flat side of a knife. Pick the rosemary leaves, throwing away the stalks. Add the garlic and rosemary to the tray.
- Rub the chicken all over with a pinch of salt and pepper, and a drizzle of oil. Stuff the chicken cavity with the quartered lemon, thyme sprigs, and sage. Place the chicken in the pan, on top of the carrots and potatoes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 400°, then add the chicken. Roast for 45 minutes.
- Carefully remove the pan from the oven, use large spoon or spatula to turn the vegetables over. Spoon any juices from the pan over the chicken.
- Return the pan to the oven for another 30 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh (without touching the bone) reads 165°.
- Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a board and return the vegetables to the oven for a final 5 minutes to crisp up, if needed.
- Cover the chicken with a layer of aluminum foil Leave to rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Using a sharp carving knife, carve up the chicken and serve with the roasted vegetables.
Notes
- Feel free to add other vegetables to the pan, along with the carrots & potatoes. Quartered onions and celery are two of our favorite "upgrades".
- After this delicious dinner, we love to use our free-range chicken frame to make a nourishing chicken broth.
- Place the chicken frame into your slow cooker. Add 2 bay leaves, black peppercorns, and any vegetable scraps you have on hand. Cover with filtered water and cook on low for 24 hours.
