Delicious Roasted Chicken and Vegetables with Cowboy Butter

Using Cowboy Butter to season the chicken before roasting will add so much amazing flavor!  This compound butter made with fresh parsley, garlic and other seasonings with a bold taste that is amazing on just about everything. Plus, smearing the butter under the skin will help the meat stay moist and the skin become crispy.  Cowboy Butter is hands down one of our most popular recipes here on Juggling Act Mama, and this is the perfect excuse to make it.

Roasted Chicken and Vegetables with Cowboy Butter

Servings 4 servings

Ingredients

Cowboy Butter

  • 1 cup salted butter 2 sticks
  • 1/4 cup finely minced fresh parsley
  • A pinch of red pepper flakes
  • A pinch of coarsely ground black pepper
  • 1 clove garlic finely minced
  • juice and zest of ½ lemon

Roasted Chicken with vegetables

  • 1 5-6 lb whole chicken
  • 1 Lemon quartered
  • 4 whole cloves fresh garlic
  • 1 large sweet onion quartered
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 6 medium red bliss potatoes peeled and halved
  • 4 large carrots peeled
  • Fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350-degrees F.
  2. Add the onion to the bottom of the roasting pan.
  3. Rinse the chicken, discard the gibbets, and truss the legs. Set the chicken on top of a rack in the roasting pan.
  4. Place the whole cloves of garlic and half the lemon inside the cavity of the chicken.
  5. Massage 2 tablespoons of the softened cowboy butter all over the chicken, including under the skin.
  6. Arrange the potatoes and carrots around the chicken on the roasting pan.
  7. Melt an additional 2 tablespoon of cowboy butter and drizzle over the vegetables.
  8. Cook at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 180 degrees F (there will be some carry over cooking after you remove it from the oven). Remove from the oven and cover with foil. Let set for 10 minutes.

To make gravy from the drippings;

  1. Strain the drippings into a large liquid measuring cup.
  2. In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of flour and cook 1-2 minutes.
  3. Slowly add the liquid to the saucepan and whisk to combine. Cook over medium-high heat until the liquid reduces and thickens. Serve immediately.

Looks pretty amazing, right?  The chicken is succulent and the skin is crisp.  Plus you have your perfectly cooked potatoes and carrots all in the same pan.  Making gravy from the drippings is a cinch and takes just a few extra minutes.
