Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 350F (18C)
In a small bowl mix together the olive oil, chopped rosemary and thyme, sage, oregano, salt, pepper and minced garlic, remove 2-3 teaspoons for the potatoes and carrots.
Toss the potatoes and carrots with the 2-3 teaspoons of herb mixture , place in parchment paper lined baking dish (first I drizzled it with a little extra olive oil, oregano and salt). Bake in oven 45-60 minutes.
Cover the chicken pieces really well with the small bowl of herb mixture, top and bottom, place in second non stick lightly oiled baking dish, single layer. Bake for approximately 40 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink, internal temperature should be 165F (74C) when cooked through. Baste meat with drippings 3-4 times during baking.
Turn on broiler and broil for approximately 2-3 minutes until browned. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
To have the best baked potatoes you are going to want a medium or high starch potato, which includes the Russet, Yukon Gold and Red Potatoes.
Besides potatoes and carrots, other veggies that are great for roasting include: brussels sprouts, mushrooms, peppers, squash, onions, broccoli, cauliflower, and tomatoes. Some vegetables take longer to cook than others, so adjust your cooking times accordingly.
If you want to roast more veggies, you can use a large sheet pan and spread them out. For crisper veggies, you can raise the temperature to 400 to 425 degrees and cook to your desired crispness. Try to keep vegetables around the same size to ensure that they cook evenly and at the same time.
The leftover Roasted Chicken should be placed in an airtight container and refrigerated. It will keep for up to three to four days in the fridge. Re-heat in the oven or microwave.
