1

Prep your chicken and veggies

Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare your roast chicken by rinsing it under cold water and patting it dry with paper towels. Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper, inside and out. Next, wash, peel, and chop your preferred veggies. Recommended options include potatoes, carrots, onions, and bell peppers.

2

Choose your seasoning

Now it's time to get creative with your seasoning! Mix together a flavorful spice rub using a combination of your favorite dried herbs and spices. Popular choices include garlic powder, paprika, thyme, rosemary, and cayenne pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture all over the chicken and veggies, ensuring they are evenly coated.

3

Drizzle with olive oil

To keep everything moist and add extra flavor, drizzle your seasoned roast chicken and veggies with a generous amount of olive oil. Use your hands or a brush to evenly distribute the oil on all sides.

4

Roast to perfection

Place your chicken and veggies on a large baking sheet or in a roasting pan. Pop them into the preheated oven and let the magic happen! Roast for about 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown, crispy, and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and the veggies are tender.

5

Garnish and serve

Once your roast chicken and veggies are out of the oven, let them rest for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Then, garnish with fresh herbs, such as chopped parsley or cilantro, for an added burst of freshness. Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful feast!
