Hi Laura, I'm in culinary school and when we did our lesson on roasting chicken, our chef showed us your recipe!! I watch you at least everyday and I was so excited when you popped up in class! I just wanted to let you know that you have fans over here at the Galveston College Culinary Academy here in Galveston Island, TX!
I made this yesterday and I couldn't stop bragging about this roasting temperature and time. I like spicy and flavorful chicken, as a result I totally marinated my chicken overnight in the fridge with 0.5 tbsp garlic paste, 0.5 tbsp Ginger paste, 0.5 tbsp chilli powder, 3 tbsp plain yogurt, 5 tbsp oil and salt according to my taste. I stuffed my chicken with lemon grass, lime leaves, and lime wedges right before putting it in the oven. I roasted mine for an hour and 30 minutes. Omg! This was the best whole roasted chicken in oven forever!!!! And the flavor of lemon grass and lime leaves are so delicious, you just have to try it!!!! Thanks Laura for this great recipe!!!! You are the best!!!
I just roasted my first whole chicken ever. I’m 55 Laura! It turned out great. I’m so proud of myself. I will be doing this once a month. And all the leftovers will go into chicken soup for the fall and winter. Thank you for giving me the confidence 😀🦋💜
I'm just learning for my husband and 1 year old baby girl. I tried this recipe, except I substituted the lemon for an orange because it's all we had, and it turned out absolutely amazing!!!!! Thank you so much, it's so hard to trust in recipes, if they will turn out good or not. But not only have you taught me to make my first whole chicken, you taught me sooo many more common knowledge I would have never even thought about, I'm a hero in my husbands and daughter eyes and its all thanks to you!!!!!
I forgot to emphasize how much this is a miracle for me!! This is simple for some people, but I was a horrible cook and the ONLY thing I could cook was french toast, it's a complete game changer when I'm 22 years old and unexpected I have a baby that relies on me for nutrition, and the only income coming from my working husband. You NEED to know how to cook, this is just one step closer and I sooo appreciate you took the time to post this, all I have to say is... SUBSCRIBE!!! Thankyou again
xBeautifulxStarx By the time your daughter is a teen, all of her friends are gonna want to hang out at your house because of your home cooked meals. Trust me, I have fed everyone of my (now adult) sons' friends and they all rave about my cooking. Never too old to learn and the internet is such a great forum. I shall subscribe!
This isn’t the only recipe that is full proof, I have made countless Laura recipes and not one of them failed me. You have to try her Braciole. Im Italian and my family says it’s the best braciole they have ever had.
I would like to share some tips to improve this recipe (no offence to Laura) as I made this and thought I should share. 1) Double the seasonoing(add some chilli flakes if u want) and spread that all around the chicken, not just the upper part. 2)Bake it up side down first and then flip it over after about an hour to get that crunchy crust all over and not just the top and cooks evenly. 3) Squeeze some lemon on potatoes etc and the chicken as well. Take out the potatoes and garlic after 1 hour or they will burn.
I also do all the above you listed, but she did great anyways. Except I clean out the bird with the lemon then rinse and season the inside as well. I love her using seasoned ((fresh herbed) butter because I do the same but all over the bird.
Laura Vitale is the real most idealistic chef and she deserves great approval...i have a great hobby and doin some chicken arosto and followed her input,,,i cooked the best than ever before...5 Star....Love you!
Just as an advice to people who'd make this recipe for the first time- use a spoon when separating the skin from the meat before putting the butter, because you might pierce the skin with a fork :)
HOLY MOLY! I followed this step by step, including taking it out of the fridge 1 hour before cooking, and tying the legs, etc. It came out so juicy and moist! My husband LOVED this! Super good dinner tonight :) Thank you Laura Vitale!
I made this last night and I tell you it was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! I have never cooked a chicken at such a high temperature, nor put lemons in the cavity. I was surprised at how juicy the meat was and very flavorful. Thanks for sharing this.
I made this dish and it turned out wonderful. I had never cooked an entire bird at once....I might move on a do a turkey now! Thank you for all your help.
Hi Laura, I always use this recipe and it never fails. Only few nuances: i roast large carrots as well, i peel chicken skin with the spoon...lol and i use fresh parsley with the butter under the skin. Amazing tips Laura. You are gorgeus lady, very sweet, always straight to the point and thats what i like about cooking. BTW, your lovely outfit and the make up are so delicate and beatiful.
Thank you so much for these videos Laura! I recently became a stay at home wife, and I've never learned how to cook. I guess I was one of those girls who didn't make dinner. I would make reservations. I've been able to dazzle my friends and family with your recipes and it's been so much tastier and healthier. 5 stars for this recipe! I've never made whole roast chicken before and it was absolutely mouth watering!
My 6 year old loves to watch your recipes! anytime we are making something old or new , we love to see your spin on it. She seriously compares you to everyone who cooks hahah xo Laura.
Hi Laura, I tried this recipe yesterday and it turned out super yummy. I cant explain how good it was. I was really afraid to try out this dish as it involves a whole chicken but Im very happy I did and I will surely make this again and again and again. The flavor is awesome and the potatoes and garlic are worth fighting for :) For those of you reading this comment, dont be afraid to try out this dish. Oil your baking dish well and dont touch the chicken or open the oven during d baking time.
When I cook whole chicken I always do the butter, rosemary, salt, pepper part. Until I watched this....O...M...G! My husband LOVES this! He has requested this should be our sunday night dinner from now on. And leftovers, we always make sandwiches or salads. So thank you so much Laura! Need more recipes like this! :)
Just wanted you to know that I cooked a chicken tonight using your 'Whole Roast Chicken Recipe' and it was moist and delicious! I knew how good it was when everyone stopped talking at the dinner table because they were too busy eating and also the other obvious clue was the picked clean carcass laying in the serving platter! Thanks for sharing your talent with us!
Everything came out exactly as you presented it. The chicken was juicy, well seasoned and the potatoes were crispy! When I make a dish of yours; it comes out great! You make it so easy to follow.. Thank You for keeping me from starving everyday!
Τhat was by far the most delicious chicken(and potatoes)i have ever tasted!!My boyfriend was licking his fingers,no kiddining!!i have already made some of your recipes ,which are all great and that's why i follow you on youtube and being honest i can't wait for the next one!!!My sincere compliments!!!Not only you're a very beautiful and sweet lady but a great cook too!!!
Tried this recipe back in xmas 2014 and we loved it. Then forgot completely until this year we decided to repeat it. I hadn't saved the video back then so i looked for a couple of hours on the net, eventually found it in my emails from back then. I'll do it again this xmas as it was the most delicious chicken recipe we ever tried! Thanks so much again :)
Made this a few weeks ago and loved it. It was a big hit! Thinking of making it again today! Not an experienced cook here, but I followed your instructions exactly and it came out perfectly and beautifully! Thanks!!
I made this tonight. DELICIOUS. I combined Laura's recipe and Entertaining with Beth (she uses herbs de provence). I used a 3.4 lb chicken (cooked it 425 at 90 minutes). To season, I salted inside and out, put 1 sprig rosemary in cavity, and used chopped garlic and butter inside the breast skin and basted with melted butter and herbs de provence. I cooked in cast iron skillet. It was DELICIOUS!!!
My lil 14 year old daughter made this for dinner the other day, all I can say is, BEST CHICKEN DINNER EVER!!! Wow wow wow was this AMAZING!!!! Laura NEVER disappoints with her recipes. ❤️👩🏻🍳🍗🍽
I am making this right now!! I reduced my oven to 350 after 30 mins though because I have little potatoes and don't want them to burn. I'm so excited to see how it turns out!!. I love Laura's recipes 😍😍
Beautiful dish. Beautiful lady. Laura has a great energy about her and her love of cooking is inspiring to any that watch her cook. I wish I could pull up a chair.
I made this on Christmas Day for my entire family. I done 1 whole chicken and 30 drumsticks. My family loved it SOO MUCH!! And they are begging me to make it again! Thank you Laura :)
I've made this recipe 3 times now... this is SO moist - it's crazy. WOW! NEVER had roast chicken like this. Thanks Laura. [Being SO juicy - the roast potatoes (for me) aren't as crispy as if i would roast them separately - but still very tasty.]
my whole family loves it. so i told my mom about it n how to make it n she told her friends how to make it n they all love it!!!! Laura recipes r all so good.
OMG, I just finished this recipe and it is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!! Melts right in my mouth, the taste of the garlic in the background plus the Lemon is just absolutely phenomenal!!!!!! THANK YOU FOR THIS RECIPE!!!
Laura thanks for this amazing recipe. I cooked this with your gravy. The chicken came out so soft and potato and gravy all together tastes out of the world.. I only add some of my mom's seasoning in the gravy. that's it rest I just followed your recipe to the tee. My boy friend said that is one of the best chicken roast he ever had. I am kind of addicted to your recipes. I loved them all. Thank you.
I have my chicken in the oven now my house smells heavenly! this is my first time ever making a whole roasted bird so excited for it to come out of the ovs
+Leena Mouloudj I don't know how it was for Kimberley... but I made it 3 times now - and it's GREAT! The moistest chicken I have EVER had. Guests loved it and asked for the recipe.
that's great !!! same here, i tried it and i honestly don't have words to express how much delicious it was, my sister asked for the recipe, when i gave it to her, she said "that's all"? then i remembered what Laura said, about not adding much spices, salt, pepper were enough, honestly all Laura's recipes are great
i made this chicken last night and it was soooo amazing. The onions were so sweet, the potatoes had a delicious flavor especially with the rosemary and the chicken so juicy. Thank you for this recipe Laura.
I made this a few night ago, absolutely lovely ! Everything came out perfectly, the veggies were great, the garlic added just the right flavor to everything, the garlic/butter topping and under the skin was amazing. Highly recommended !
The chicken turns out very soft and juicy, I liked that.. but I had to turn over the chicken to roast the bottom part as it got soggy being soaked in its fat. The potatoes also came out over roasted after 1hr45min while the onion at the bottom also was soggy.
I never ever wanted to cook a whole chicken.. but when my husband started to get chicken as a gift from his company.. I realized I had to make it work. this is our one and only recipe.. and my hubby's personal favorite thing I cook..
After cooking this, I had almost 1 1/2 cups of fat from the chicken at the bottom of the pan, somewhat fried the Potatoes. Should I be trimming excess fat/skin from the rear of the chicken before I put it in? or maybe removing it halfway through?
Used your tips to roast my Christmas day chicken today and it came out great! Very succulent, unlike previous times that I had dried out chicken and didn't know why. Thank you!
I wanted to know if the cooking temperature of 425 for 1 hour and 45 minutes at 6 pounds is accurate.. My chickens are usually 5.5 pounds and 425 degrees for that long or slightly less due to weight seems to almost burn the bird!!! The thermometer gores to 170 internal temperature after 1 hour. or so. Thanks IF YOU COULD CONFIRM TEMPERATURE would be great.
You are amazing! I love how you really teach how to cook well and explain why we do things. Not just going through the motions! you're one of a kind! xx
Nothing smells better than roasted chicken! Never thought of roasting potatoes in the same pan, I love cooking things that you can walk away from! Can't wait to try this! You are lovely Laura, I enjoyed your video!
Hi Laura, I just had to tell you that I did the roast chicken and my wife thought is was the best. She said you would be proud of me. I have watched so many of your videos that it has become my favorite You-tube viewing. If you are ever in Charleston, SC let us know and you can stay with us in return for one Laura's home cooking. :)
This is my go to roast chicken recipe now, made it loads of times, during summer I make a light sauce while the bird is resting, simply put the pan with the roasting juices on the heat, add lemon juice, white wine, creme fraiche and dijon mustard, a good grinding of black pepper and voila..a nice light sauce that is perfect with the chicken and a crisp green salad.
Used this recipe today. I'm a novice cooker, as a student this was extremely helpful. The tips on getting the chicken to be juicy were great, the meat came out so juicy and tasty. The roast potato's whilst I slightly undercooked them were divine
I made this today and it was very fun to make. My only complaint is that I should've used more seasoning. The legs and thighs were not that flavorful. The potatoes were awesome though.
Yep, I would have squeezed lemon all over that bird and rubbed that infused butter all over the wings and thighs as well. Ina Garten's roasted chicken recipe is amazing!!
Wavestrike Electronics Yea, usually when I bake chickens I cook them at 350-375 then I crank up the heat during the last 15-20 min to brown the outside. This way you don't dry the chicken out. Great recipe but people will just need to make a few minor adjustments to make it to their taste. Good job Laura I subscribed.
Thanks Laura,I tried your method of taking the chicken out of the fridge first for a few hours and raising it onto two sets of sliced onions.The results were delicious.
Hi Laura! i usually cook roasted chicken w/ potatoes, however, i tried the compound butter this time and used your technique... it was amazing! just perfect and juicy! My family has now nominated me to cook the thanksgiving turkey!.. i guess i'll be watching that episode shortly! Thanks for all the great recipes!
Ok, I'm going to give it a try. It's my first time cooking a whole chicken. So liberating!! I didn't have some of the ingredients Laura had, so I improvised. I mixed my butter with lemon pepper instead of Rosemary and I seasoned the outside of the chicken with black pepper, garlic and seasoned salt. I hope that works. I oiled the pan with Canola instead of olive oil and I put onions and potatoes in the chicken cavity and all around in the baking dish. I seasoned the heck out of everything, so we'll see.
Hi Saurav. Same here, I am middle eastern and I just have to have my spice and was wondering if I can pull this off. But after hearing this from you, then I will do it exactly the same. Thanks.
Thank you so much! I tried it today and the chicken turned out perfect! The garlic is so sweet and the potatoes mmmm I'm eating it as I write. I was looking for the best way to do roast chicken when I stumbled upon your video and I tell ya wow I'm so glad because this was the first time I roasted a chicken so you made the experience very easy and delicious thank you so much again!!
I just made this recipe with sweet potato instead of potatoes, Oh my God it was delicious. So simple to make and the instructions were crystal clear. Thank you, I will subscribe.
Just tried this. Tasted so good and instead of applying salt on chicken i rubbed it in to meet. That spread flavour to deep inside. Thx Laura keep up. You're awsome !!!
Laura, I love you and your recipes. I have tried this but altered it very slightly to suit me.I had a wife that cooked like a cafe queen & had NO imagination. This is lovely.
I made this last year my personal Thanksgiving with my hubby and our daughter. It was soooooo good and juicy! I'm definitely making this for our personal Christmas next week too! Thank you, Laura, for teaching me how to cook! You're amazing!!!!!
Dear Laura, I've Just served this stuffing with roasted chicken, potatoes, gravy and yorkshire pudding it was delicious!!! Thank you só much for the recipe. Fátima.
I tried the recipe and it was amazing, just like chef Laura. I tried it twice, the second time I switched it up with adding cilantro and ginger. The end results was succulent chicken.
Hi Laura, I'm in culinary school and when we did our lesson on roasting chicken, our chef showed us your recipe!! I watch you at least everyday and I was so excited when you popped up in class!

having a well-raised son or daughter is the best contribution one can make to this fucked-up world.
This isn’t the only recipe that is full proof, I have made countless Laura recipes and not one of them failed me. You have to try her Braciole. Im Italian and my family says it’s the best braciole they have ever had.
I would like to share some tips to improve this recipe (no offence to Laura) as I made this and thought I should share.
1) Double the seasonoing(add some chilli flakes if u want) and spread that all around the chicken, not just the upper part.
2)Bake it up side down first and then flip it over after about an hour to get that crunchy crust all over and not just the top and cooks evenly.
3) Squeeze some lemon on potatoes etc and the chicken as well. Take out the potatoes and garlic after 1 hour or they will burn.
Thanks so much for the tips
Thanks for the advice, especially the lemon one😊
I was thinking about taking my potatoes out early. I don't like them too dark or hard. Thanks for the extra tip.
I also do all the above you listed, but she did great anyways. Except I clean out the bird with the lemon then rinse and season the inside as well. I love her using seasoned ((fresh herbed) butter because I do the same but all over the bird.
I always start mine upside down. I don’t care for citrus with my chicken but upside down is a great tip.
Laura Vitale is the real most idealistic chef and she deserves great approval...i have a great hobby and doin some chicken arosto and followed her input,,,i cooked the best than ever before...5 Star....Love you!
Just as an advice to people who'd make this recipe for the first time- use a spoon when separating the skin from the meat before putting the butter, because you might pierce the skin with a fork :)
Sara Ganeva oh good call
Good idea 💡
I use a spatula
I agree
HOLY MOLY! I followed this step by step, including taking it out of the fridge 1 hour before cooking, and tying the legs, etc. It came out so juicy and moist! My husband LOVED this! Super good dinner tonight :) Thank you Laura Vitale!

Donna Shinall my daughter did as well, BEST CHICKEN DINNER EVER!!! 😋😋😋
Donna Shinall ..
just wondering if 425 was a good temperature?
Did you cover it in the oven ?? Or was it uncovered for the hole time ?
I made this dish and it turned out wonderful. I had never cooked an entire bird at once....I might move on a do a turkey now! Thank you for all your help.
Hi Laura, I always use this recipe and it never fails. Only few nuances: i roast large carrots as well, i peel chicken skin with the spoon...lol and i use fresh parsley with the butter under the skin. Amazing tips Laura. You are gorgeus lady, very sweet, always straight to the point and thats what i like about cooking. BTW, your lovely outfit and the make up are so delicate and beatiful.

It turned out awesome! I never made chicken this delicious! OMG
Just finished all the steps and now the chicken is sitting in the oven. It smells so good! Can't wait to taste it!!! Laura, U R AMAZING!!
Now, I want everything on that platter.🍽
You should of been have a ring on that finger with your cooking skills girl lol This was the dish that won me the world championship title thanks.)
usually i skip the ads as soon as possible. but then, when its an ad of Laura in the kitchen, before one of her videos... :D
i am loving it....

After cooking this, I had almost 1 1/2 cups of fat from the chicken at the bottom of the pan, somewhat fried the Potatoes. Should I be trimming excess fat/skin from the rear of the chicken before I put it in? or maybe removing it halfway through?
Used your tips to roast my Christmas day chicken today and it came out great! Very succulent, unlike previous times that I had dried out chicken and didn't know why. Thank you!
I wanted to know if the cooking temperature of 425 for 1 hour and 45 minutes at 6 pounds is accurate.. My chickens are usually 5.5 pounds and 425 degrees for that long or slightly less due to weight seems to almost burn the bird!!! The thermometer gores to 170 internal temperature after 1 hour. or so. Thanks IF YOU COULD CONFIRM TEMPERATURE would be great.
You are amazing! I love how you really teach how to cook well and explain why we do things. Not just going through the motions! you're one of a kind! xx
I always get stoned and watch this lady.
Trixie Truelove same 😂
Trixie Truelove You must weigh 400 pounds...
Tim Markowicz Nope. 420 pounds. Your assumption was close though.
Trixie Truelove I love you xD
Trixie Truelove Lol!! 😄❤
I've made this many times and it is the best I have ever tried. As a side note this was made in 2012 and it is now 2016 you have not aged a bit!!!
OMG this is the best chicken ive ever made or tasted...(= Ladies go for it without a doubt...(= so so so delicious
Tatyana Kotsyubchuk Thank you Laura so much for sharing(((=

Nothing smells better than roasted chicken! Never thought of roasting potatoes in the same pan, I love cooking things that you can walk away from! Can't wait to try this! You are lovely Laura, I enjoyed your video!
I'm excited for my chicken to come out of the oven WOOO. Except I added adobo and liquid smoke
how was it?
James Donohue yeah how was it?
Liquid smoke is overrated.

Hi Laura,
I just had to tell you that I did the roast chicken and my wife thought is was the best. She said you would be proud of me. I have watched so many of your videos that it has become my favorite You-tube viewing. If you are ever in Charleston, SC let us know and you can stay with us in return for one Laura's home cooking. :)
My potatoes were burnt after an hour an half. What did I do wrong?
NOTHING, she burned them too, her mistake
Try baking at 375 and test it with a thermometer after about 1.5 hrs. Her bird was 6 lb, mine was 1.56 kg (around 3.5 or 4 lb).
This is my go to roast chicken recipe now, made it loads of times, during summer I make a light sauce while the bird is resting, simply put the pan with the roasting juices on the heat, add lemon juice, white wine, creme fraiche and dijon mustard, a good grinding of black pepper and voila..a nice light sauce that is perfect with the chicken and a crisp green salad.
I need some beginner's advice about herbs. Someone can please tell me the taste of thyme is more acceptable or rosemary ? Much appreciate. :)

Used this recipe today. I'm a novice cooker, as a student this was extremely helpful. The tips on getting the chicken to be juicy were great, the meat came out so juicy and tasty. The roast potato's whilst I slightly undercooked them were divine
I made this today and it was very fun to make. My only complaint is that I should've used more seasoning. The legs and thighs were not that flavorful. The potatoes were awesome though.
Yep, I would have squeezed lemon all over that bird and rubbed that infused butter all over the wings and thighs as well. Ina Garten's roasted chicken recipe is amazing!!
I made this for Christmas and it was so moist and juicy. Thank you Laura!
Oven was too hot. Potatoes are not "carmelized." they are burned. 375F is the proper temperature for what you are doing.
maybe if she put some broth/water in the pan, then the potatoes would've been better.
Wavestrike Electronics they'll still good to eat. She did cut them quite small.
Wavestrike Electronics to me just perfect
Wavestrike Electronics Yea, usually when I bake chickens I cook them at 350-375 then I crank up the heat during the last 15-20 min to brown the outside. This way you don't dry the chicken out. Great recipe but people will just need to make a few minor adjustments to make it to their taste. Good job Laura I subscribed.
Wavestrike Electronics You're kidding right?
i made this today for dinner and it was delicious. i also added carrots to roast and they also were delicious.
Everytime Laura says put a little bit of olive oil it seems like so much! Lol
Vishal Patel you should see Gordon Ramsey’s ‘bit’ of olive oil.
Thanks Laura,I tried your method of taking the chicken out of the fridge first for a few hours and raising it onto two sets of sliced onions.The results were delicious.
beautiful woman, beautiful cooking. regards from India.
Made this with my mom!! Turned out amazing!! esp. the potatoes. Thank you

mus5599 Saying a woman is beautiful doesn't have to be lusting you self righteous nincompoop.

***** lol
My go to recipe ! Used it so many time, such a great teacher !
She's like a positive Jenna Marbles.
Omg i was thinking the same thing hahahahahaha
Hi Laura! i usually cook roasted chicken w/ potatoes, however, i tried the compound butter this time and used your technique... it was amazing! just perfect and juicy! My family has now nominated me to cook the thanksgiving turkey!.. i guess i'll be watching that episode shortly! Thanks for all the great recipes!
lol her potatoes were burnt!
Ok, I'm going to give it a try. It's my first time cooking a whole chicken. So liberating!! I didn't have some of the ingredients Laura had, so I improvised. I mixed my butter with lemon pepper instead of Rosemary and I seasoned the outside of the chicken with black pepper, garlic and seasoned salt. I hope that works. I oiled the pan with Canola instead of olive oil and I put onions and potatoes in the chicken cavity and all around in the baking dish. I seasoned the heck out of everything, so we'll see.
Whenever u eat your food I feel to grab it from your hand and eat it looks very yammy
Hi Saurav. Same here, I am middle eastern and I just have to have my spice and was wondering if I can pull this off. But after hearing this from you, then I will do it exactly the same. Thanks.
The potatoes look burnt
Burnt bits are the best bits...
Thank you so much! I tried it today and the chicken turned out perfect! The garlic is so sweet and the potatoes mmmm I'm eating it as I write. I was looking for the best way to do roast chicken when I stumbled upon your video and I tell ya wow I'm so glad because this was the first time I roasted a chicken so you made the experience very easy and delicious thank you so much again!!
I tell you how to do it, get the chicken, put oil on it,slice onions tomatoes put inside ,put on salt and throw it in to the oven.
