Sep 13 2022

Simple kosher roast chicken is a popular Friday night Shabbos dinner table offering; this version with vegetables is easy to make and delicious.

Ingredients

1
(3 1/2-pound) whole kosher chicken (or the equivalent amount of chicken pieces)
¼
cup olive oil
2
teaspoons paprika
2
teaspoons garlic powder
2
teaspoons onion powder
1
teaspoon salt
½
teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1
large onion (cut into eighths)
2
large carrots (peeled and cut into large chunks)
2
medium zucchini (cut into large chunks)
8
garlic cloves (left whole)

Step 1
Gather the ingredients.
Step 2
Place the chicken in a roasting pan.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub all over the chicken. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
Step 4
Preheat the oven to 375 F.
Step 5
Distribute the vegetables around the chicken, tossing to coat the vegetables with the marinade.
Step 6
Roast the chicken, covered, for 1 hour. Uncover and cook for another 20 to 30 minutes, until the chicken is browned on top and cooked through. An instant-read thermometer should register 165 F when placed into the thickest part of the thigh.
Step 7
Let the chicken rest for at least 10 minutes (and up to 20) before carving. Place on a platter with the vegetables. If desired, pour the pan juices into a gravy boat and serve on the side.
Step 8
Enjoy.
