Lemony Spring Chicken with Roasted Veggies
If you have two ovens, dovetail the roasting time by popping the veggies into the other oven halfway through the chicken roasting time. Otherwise you can make the vegetables while the chicken rests before cutting it up. Toss in a handful of chopped spring herbs before serving, if your garden is in bloom.
1 (3-1/4 pounds) Gold'n Plump® Whole Chicken
1 pound baby carrots with tops
12 small red potatoes (about 1-1/4 pounds), halved
1-3/4 cups red radishes, halved (about 6 ounces)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 pound asparagus, cut into 2-inch pieces (about 1 pound)
1 lemon
Chopped fresh chives, mint, or parsley, if desired
Heat oven and roast chicken according to package directions.
Meanwhile, cut tops from carrots and halve lengthwise. Place in large bowl with potatoes and radishes. Toss with oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange on parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet.
Once the chicken is done, remove from oven. Let rest 10 minutes before opening bag. Increase oven temperature to 500°F. Place vegetables in oven; bake 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add asparagus. Return to oven for about 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender and browned.
Arrange chicken on serving platter with juices, surrounded with vegetables. Serve with a squeeze of lemon and sprinkle of fresh herbs.
