  • Prep Time 10 minutes
  • Total Time 1 hour, 10 minutes
  • Yield Serves 4

Ingredients

    • 1 whole chicken (3 1/2 to 4 pounds), rinsed and patted dry
    • Coarse salt and ground pepper
    • 1/2 bunch thyme
    • 1/2 bunch parsley
    • 2 leeks (white and light-green parts only), halved lengthwise, then crosswise, and rinsed well
    • 3 medium carrots, cut into 3-inch lengths
    • 1 pound small red potatoes, any large ones halved
    • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
    • 1/2 cup dry white wine

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Season chicken inside and out with salt and pepper and place in a roasting pan. Stuff thyme and parsley in cavity. In a large bowl, toss leeks, carrots, and potatoes with oil; season with salt and pepper. Scatter vegetables around chicken, arranging potatoes at edges of pan; pour wine into pan. Roast until chicken is golden brown and juices run clear when pierced between breast and leg (an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of a thigh, avoiding bone, should read 165 degrees), about 1 hour.

Cook's Note

To keep herbs fresh for a whole week, wrap them in damp paper towels and store in a plastic bag in the refrigerator.
