Crispy Roasted Chicken with Tomatoes and Scallions
(Serves 4 - 6)
Crispy Roasted Chicken with Tomatoes and Scallions
Ingredients:
1 (5 to 6 pound) whole chicken
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
1/2 medium onion
3 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
4 bunches scallions, cut into 2-inch lengths
2 pints grape tomatoes
Olive oil
Directions:
Rinse the chicken and pat it dry.
Generously season the chicken inside and out with salt and pepper.
Refrigerate, uncovered, at least 4 hours or overnight to dry the skin.
Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before roasting.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
In a small bowl, combine the butter and thyme.
Gently slide your hand under the chicken skin on the breasts and legs to loosen it. Place the butter mixture under the skin. Smooth the top of the skin with your hand to distribute the butter evenly.
Place the onion and garlic cloves into the cavity of the chicken.
Tie the legs together with twine. Set a rack in a large roasting pan.
Put the chicken on the rack and roast for 30 minutes.
Toss the scallions and tomatoes with olive oil; spread them around the chicken in the roasting pan. Continue roasting until the chicken is golden brown and a thermometer inserted into a thigh registers 165 degrees F, about 1 hour more.
Transfer the chicken and vegetables to a serving platter and let rest for 10 minutes before carving.
