How to Make Balsamico Roast Chicken And Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a fragrant paste.
  3. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Place the chicken in a roasting pan.
  4. Generously rub the balsamic paste all over the chicken, ensuring it gets into the crevices.
  5. Peel and chop the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Toss them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  6. Arrange the potatoes around the chicken in the roasting pan.
  7. Roast for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C) and the potatoes are tender. Baste the chicken with pan juices halfway through.
  8. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
