Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go
  1. Preheat the oven

    Turn the oven on to 200 °C (gas mark 6-7). Let it heat for 10 min before the chicken goes in.

  2. Prep the chicken

    On the cutting board, pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Season it inside and out with salt and pepper.

    Tip · For a really crispy chicken, dry the skin well before salting it.
  3. Peel the vegetables

    Peel the potatoes and carrots. Cut them into 2 cm to 3 cm pieces. Peel and slice the onion.

  4. Arrange the vegetables

    In the baking dish, spread out the potato and carrot pieces. Scatter the sliced onion around them.

  5. Add the chicken

    Set the whole chicken on the vegetables, breast side up. Drizzle with the oil and lightly salt the skin.

  6. Roast

    Put the dish in the center of the preheated oven. Roast for 1 hour 15 minutes without touching it.

    Tip · Don't cover the dish: the skin needs to brown without steam.
  7. Check for doneness

    At the end, pierce the chicken at the thigh: the juices should run clear. If needed, roast 10 min longer.
