Roast Chicken

Rate & Review

(97 people have added this recipe to their favorites.)

More roast chicken recipes have made their way through the F&W Test Kitchen over the years than we can count, but this one from chef-owner Jerry Traunfeld of The Herbfarm near Seattle, which was first published in F&W in July 1999, is memorable because of its garlicky-herb flavor and delicious pan juices. Bruising fresh bay leaves by holding both ends and twisting in opposite directions makes them more potent. If fresh bay leaves are unavailable, use fresh sprigs of thyme or marjoram.

wine recommendation

A medium-bodied red, like Chianti, is the best match for this aromatic chicken. Consider the 1995 Antinori Pèppoli Chianti Classico or the 1995 Frescobaldi Nipozzano Chianti Rufina Riserva.

This was absolutely amazing! The flavors of the bay leaves and garlic permeated the meat so well. I served it with some herb roasted potatoes and garlic roasted asparagus. Everyone loved the meal. And I have to say that the chianti was the perfect wine to go with this dish.
