I have always wanted to try baking my chicken vertically! It seems the best way to do it because then you have more room in your oven for other things like side dishes!

I will definitely be roasting my chickens this way from now on! Sorry I don't have photos of the chickens after they were roasted! I thought I took pictures, but if I did I can't find them! I promise that I'll update this post with photos next time I make this!

INGREDIENTS:
1 whole chicken
3 Tbls. olive oil
salt, pepper, garlic powder - to season chicken and veggies
1 potato, washed, peeled and chopped
1 large onion, peeled and chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Remove innards from body cavity of chicken and discard or save for future use.
Remove skin from chicken if desired.
Rub about 2 Tbls. of olive oil over entire chicken.
Then light sprinkle chicken with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
Place all the chopped veggies evenly in the bottom of the vertical roaster or tube pan.
Sprinkle with about 1 Tbls olive oil and lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
Place the chicken onto the center spout of the vertical roaster or tube pan.
If using a tube pan place a small round cake pan under the tube pan to catch any dripping from center hole of spout.
Arrange oven rack so that top of chicken is about 4 inches from heating element.
Bake chicken uncovered for 20 minutes per pound.
Veggies should be fork tender when chicken is done roasting.
If you want to brown the veggies, just remove the chicken from the pan, raise the oven rack a few inches from heating element, raise temp to 450 degrees F. and bake until desired browning is achieved.
What a great way to roast a chicken! I bet those vegetables were awesome having cooked in the drippings! Cool pan!
ReplyDeleteHi Mjskit! Thanks! Yes, they were perfect! I'll have to make this again real soon so that I can get 'after' pics! I wonder if they make a vertical roaster large enough to fit a turkey? =D
DeleteI love your vertical roasting pan... may I ask where you got it?
ReplyDeleteHi Kristina! I got the pan as a gift. It's a 'Napa Style' brand. I think you can buy it online. =D
