Description

This Bundt Pan Chicken is a flavorful and comforting roasted chicken recipe featuring a whole chicken cooked upright in a bundt pan surrounded by tender baby potatoes, carrots, and onions. The chicken is seasoned with a savory blend of herbs and spices, while roasting allows the natural juices to infuse the vegetables, resulting in a juicy, perfectly cooked meal that's both simple and elegant.

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 1 1/2 lbs baby potatoes (Yukon gold or red), halved if large
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped into wedges
  • 1 lb carrots, peeled and chopped

Seasonings and Oil

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Protein

  • 1 whole chicken (3-4 lbs)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it's properly heated before placing the chicken inside.
  2. Prepare the Bundt Pan: Grease a 12-cup bundt pan with nonstick spray or butter, then cover the center hole with a small folded square of aluminum foil to prevent vegetables from falling through.
  3. Arrange Vegetables: Place the halved baby potatoes, chopped onion wedges, and peeled chopped carrots into the bundt pan. Drizzle them with half of the olive oil to coat.
  4. Season Vegetables: In a small bowl, mix together the salt, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme. Sprinkle about half of this mixture over the vegetables and toss them gently to ensure even coverage.
  5. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the chicken and rub it evenly all over. Sprinkle the remaining seasoning mixture on the chicken and rub it in thoroughly to coat the entire surface.
  6. Position the Chicken: Place the chicken cavity down over the foil-covered center hole of the bundt pan, allowing it to stand upright surrounded by the vegetables.
  7. Bake: Put the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 60-70 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
  8. Rest the Chicken: Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving and serving, allowing juices to redistribute for a moist and flavorful result.

Notes

  • Using a meat thermometer is highly recommended to ensure the chicken is perfectly cooked without drying out.
  • Covering the bundt pan's center hole with foil helps keep the vegetables from falling through during roasting.
  • You can substitute vegetables according to preference, such as adding parsnips or brussels sprouts for variety.
  • Leftover roasted vegetables make a delicious side dish and can be reheated easily.
  • For a crispier skin, you may broil the chicken for 2-3 minutes at the end of cooking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
