I made this with two cornish hens (adding up to about 3.5 lbs total) and it worked out perfectly. As everyone said: juicy, flavorful, delicious. And relatively easy as well.

This is the most amazing roast chicken I’ve ever had! And the potatoes and veggies–OMG, they are de-lish!! I have a lot of cherry tomatoes right now, so made some curried ketchup to go with the chicken. I don’t know when I’ve had such a satisfying meal!!!!

oh my goodness! THANK YOU for this recipe and method. I’ve roasted a chicken or two in my time, and figured, eh, how different can this really be? But WOW, it knocked our socks off! This method, bar none, produced the most tender and flavorful chicken I’ve ever roasted, complete with a beautiful crispy skin. The step at the end of straining the white wine through the mire poix may seem unnecessary, but trust me, don’t skip it! Adds an incredible flavor dimension to the veggies AND the jus. The only thing I’d cut back on next time is the salt on the veggies, as my jus came out a little salty (my fault). I also added garlic cloves and more herbs stuffed under the skin. Truly a simple but mouth-watering recipe and method. THANK YOU again!

Journeywoman has this to say about this recipe:

Oh.. you want to know about the triumph?
Well. I roasted a chicken tonight.

I am a gourmet chef but this simple dish escaped me. Maybe because the first time I made it, I used my mom’s recipe and it was erev Yom Kippur and I think I didn’t cook it enough and it got me sick. But tonight I put fresh rosemary under the skin with slivers of garlic. I put an apple in the cavity and more garlic and rosemary.

For the rest I followed this recipe with the potatoes and the carrots, onion, and celery. I put it all in my cast iron skillet and roasted it.

It was amazing. It was SO amazing. It was so amazing my “I don’t really like chicken why are you making a whole one” husband devoured all the dark meat and started picking at the white meat. It was delicious and we are boiling the carcas down for stock and we picked up all the meat so we can make more dinners.

I LOVE it when a new recipe works.

It made me stop worrying about the house and how firm we have to be about getting our repairs done.

I’ve got mine in the oven now. I’m hopeful that it’ll be delicious.

Also – you’re the first google result now.

Just made this recipe for the second time and just love it! The chicken is so moist and the mire pois makes the whole house smell fabulous during the cooking. A one-pot meal is such a blessing to find and this one is awesome. Thanks.
