Ingredients
- 1 piece whole chicken
- 4 pieces potatoes (medium-sized, peeled and quartered)
- 2 pieces red capsicum (sliced into thick strips)
- 300 grams cherry tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 piece lemon (juiced)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon crushed red chili flakes (optional)
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Step 2
Clean the whole chicken by patting it dry with paper towels. Rub 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the chicken and season generously with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, paprika, and oregano. If desired, sprinkle crushed red chili flakes for an extra kick.
Step 3
In a large roasting pan, combine the potatoes, sliced red capsicum, cherry tomatoes, and minced garlic. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the vegetables and season with the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
Step 4
Place the seasoned chicken in the center of the roasting pan, arranging the vegetables around it. Pour the strained juice of 1 lemon evenly over the chicken and vegetables.
Step 5
Transfer the roasting pan to the preheated oven and roast for 1 hour and 30 minutes, basting the chicken and vegetables with the pan juices every 30 minutes for optimal flavor and moisture.
Step 6
To check if the chicken is done, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh without touching the bone. The internal temperature should read 75°C (165°F). Alternatively, pierce the thigh; the juices should run clear and not pink.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Allow it to rest for 10 minutes to retain its juices.
Step 8
Garnish the chicken and vegetables with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Divide into portions and enjoy your roast chicken with the perfectly roasted vegetables.
