A tender and juicy slow roasted chicken, seasoned with aromatic herbs and served over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes, making for a comforting and hearty meal.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 whole chicken (3–4 lbs)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cups mashed potatoes (prepared in advance)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the chicken dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy skin.
  2. Rub the chicken all over with olive oil. Season generously with garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Place the chicken in a roasting pan or large baking dish. Pour chicken broth into the bottom of the pan to keep the chicken moist as it roasts.
  4. Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the skin is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. While the chicken roasts, prepare the mashed potatoes if not already made.
  6. Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
  7. Serve the chicken over the mashed potatoes and drizzle the pan juices over the top. Add a dollop of butter on the potatoes for extra creaminess.

Notes

  • Let the chicken rest after roasting to retain its juices when carved.
  • Use fresh herbs for a more fragrant flavor profile.
  • Leftover chicken makes great sandwiches or salads the next day.
