Braised Whole Chicken with Potatoes and Carrots
Ingredients
  • 1½ cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 1 whole chicken (4 pounds), giblets removed, rinsed and patted dry
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 sprigs rosemary
  • 1 pound small red new potatoes, scrubbed
  • 1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into pieces 2-inches long, ½-inch thick


Procedure
Preheat oven to 400°F and position rack in the center.

Combine the broth and wine in a 5½-quart Dutch oven. Rub the chicken with olive oil, season inside and out with salt and pepper and place rosemary sprigs into the cavity. Truss the chicken with twine and place in preheated oven. Cook uncovered for 30 minutes.

Remove from the oven and nestle potatoes and carrots around the chicken. Season vegetables with salt and pepper and return pot to the oven. Continue to cook uncovered until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thigh registers 165°F, about 60 minutes more.

Transfer chicken to a carving board, tent lightly with foil and let rest 10 minutes. Carve chicken and transfer to a warmed serving platter, serve with vegetables and pan juices.
