Throw carrots and other vegetables in and it becomes a one-pot dinner! Ingredients 1 whole chicken (3 ½ to 4 pounds), rinsed and patted dry Coarse salt and ground pepper ½ bunch thyme ½ 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 ½ cup dry white wine Directions 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 Notes To keep herbs fresh for a whole week, wrap them in damp paper towels and store in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. Rate it Print
