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) so it's nice and hot when the chicken goes in.

  2. Prep the chicken

    Take the chicken out of its packaging and pat it dry with paper towels if it's damp. Season inside and out with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  3. Arrange the vegetables

    Peel the carrots and cut them into thick rounds. Peel the potatoes and cut them into large cubes. Spread them over the bottom of the roasting pan.

  4. Put the chicken in the oven

    Set the chicken on the vegetables in the roasting pan. Drizzle it with the oil, spooning a tablespoon over the skin, and under it if you can.

    Tip · For really crispy chicken skin, loosen the skin from the meat with your fingertips before drizzling with oil.

  5. Roast the chicken

    Roast at 200 °C for 1 hour 15 minutes. Turn the chicken halfway through so it browns evenly.

  6. Check for doneness

    Pierce the chicken with a fork: the juices should run clear and the meat should pull away easily. If not, roast 10-15 min longer.

    Tip · If the vegetables aren't tender enough, cook them 10 min longer, covered, after taking the chicken out.

  7. Serve

    Take the chicken and vegetables out of the oven. Let the chicken rest for 5 min before carving. Serve with the roasted vegetables.
