Spiced Roasted Chicken

Warming spices and a burst of citrus breathe new life into a simple roasted chicken.

Ingredients

1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 whole chicken (3 1/2 to 4 pounds), rinsed and patted dry, legs tied
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled, halved crosswise, and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
2 medium carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 orange, unpeeled, cut into 8 wedges

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a small bowl, combine spices. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then rub all over with spice mixture. Place in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot with a tight-fitting lid. Arrange vegetables and orange wedges around chicken and add 1/2 cup water. Cover and roast 30 minutes. Remove lid and roast until skin is golden brown and juices run clear when chicken is pierced between breast and leg (an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of a thigh, avoiding bone, should read 165 degrees), 30 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before carving. Serve with vegetables and orange wedges. Serves 4

MMMM!

Interesting - sweet potatoes, carrots and orange slices. I am offended with St Patty’s day only a month away - too much orange!

But I am going to try this recipe anyway, Thanks.

I copied and pasted this not because it’s something I would make for just me, but this looks like a helluva company meal. Good use of those spices.

I’m willing.
