An everyday dish for 2, ready in 90 minutes, around $3.42 a serving. People actually plan it with Popotam, and it's in season in October.
Turn the oven on to 200 °C (gas mark 6-7) so it's nice and hot before the chicken goes in.
Take the chicken out of its packaging and set it on the cutting board. Pat it with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Rub the chicken with the oil, thyme, salt and pepper. Spread the seasoning well over all the skin and inside the cavity.
Peel the carrots and cut them into thick rounds. Peel the potatoes and cut them into large 3 cm cubes.
In the roasting pan, spread the carrots and potatoes in a single layer. Drizzle with a little oil and salt lightly.
Set the chicken on the vegetables in the roasting pan. Put it in the oven, preheated to 200 °C.
Roast for 1 hour 15 minutes at 200 °C. Check for doneness by sticking a fork into the thickest part: the juices should run clear.
Take the pan out of the oven and gently turn the potatoes and carrots with a wooden spoon so they brown evenly.
Put the pan back in the oven and cook for 15 more min at 200 °C so the vegetables are tender and crispy.
