INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine the garlic cloves and black olives
and put them into the cavity of the chicken. Truss the chicken with string.
Rub the outside with some of the olive oil and season with some salt and
pepper. Put the chicken in a roasting pan on its right side. Toss the
potatoes and carrots with the remaining olive oil, salt and pepper. Put the
potatoes and carrots around the chicken. Roast the chicken in a pan on the
right side for 20 minutes. Then turn the chicken onto its left side and
roast for another 20 minutes. Finally, turn the chicken on its back and
roast for another 20 minutes. Each time you turn the chicken, stir the
potatoes and carrots in the juices. This is the key to perfectly roasting a
whole chicken. Remove the garlic and black olive stuffing from the chicken.
Cut the chicken into 4 to 8 pieces. Serve a portion of the chicken on each
of 4 large plates with some of the roasted potatoes and carrots. Garnish
each plate with a couple of lemon wedges, some of the black olives and
garlic cloves and a couple slices of toasted French bread. I like to smear
some of the garlic on the toasted bread. Garnish each plate with a sprig of
parsley. This recipe yields 4 servings.
