Are you sick and tired of the same old chicken recipe?

If you are then you are going to love this easy and savory roasted chicken with vegetables.

You grill it, pan fry it, crockpot it, make it in a stew, soup –you name it– I know it can get  b o o o r  i n g.  However, if you are looking for a savory, moist, flavor bursting-type-of-roasted- chicken, you have to put some love and time into making it.

Yes, it may take a bit of preparation, but the end result is well worth it.  See, when you cook your own food, you know what’s going into it, and you and I know this is a win-win for your health in the long run.

This roasted chicken recipe is one of the best and juiciest chickens I have ever made.  Was it the time I marinated it for? or the quality of the pastured chicken (I get it from here) ?  Or the Kombucha instead of wine? I think it was a combination all of those things that made this chicken a success. Remember the word moist and tender when you think of success here though.

Now, what if I told you that there is a better and easy way to make a healthy savory-roasted chicken?  Yes, there is. and I am going to tell you how:

  • Once you gather all of the ingredients [which are easy to find at your local store or online], all you have to do is coat the chicken with the marinade.  That takes about 15 minutes.
  • Then you put in the fridge where the marinade does all of the work for you [say you prepare it on Saturday night to cook it the next day]
  • Sunday you cook it, have some for lunch or dinner, then you save the leftovers to be used throughout the week. You can make chicken salads, fajitas, healthy “arroz con pollo” or simply put it over a healthy delicious easy raw salad

See, you save time and money by making one big meal in a few hours.

Why I Choose Pastured Poultry

You can find pastured chickens at  your local farmer, farmer’s market or even in your nearest health food store or supermarket.

Since more awareness has been raised regarding commercial chicken farms, and even those who claim to be organic farms. Consumers are listening more than ever.

Take for example  this story , where investigators from the Cornucopia Institute are using the respective “organic” manufacturers who claimed animals enjoyed fresh air, grazed and even spent time outdoors–when they weren’t.   Very disappointing to say the least.   That is why, we try to get pastured chickens in bulk at least every three months– especially when tropical traditions where I purchase my grass-fed beef, eggs, butter, and chickens has coupons on frozen foods. { Keep an eye on my social media pages as I often share those free shipping on frozen foods coupons}.  Yes sometimes it seems to be expensive, but it isn’t in the long run.  We are what we eat and that is the best health insurance you can have–ever!

Pastured Poultry chickens are all raised by family farmers. These farmers run diversified farms practicing sustainable agriculture. They will rotate tracts of land with crops and other animals, or let it go fallow from time to time. When a batch of chickens is raised on a piece of pasture, typically that pasture will not see chickens again for two or more years. In the interval, crops may be grown in that pasture, or it may go fallow allowing grass to grow, die, and decompose so that the soil is kept in balance and not contaminated from too much chicken manure. So when you buy Tropical Traditions pastured poultry, you are supporting small-scale family farmers and by-passing the system that produces the conventional “factory chicken.” [source]

Tropical Traditions pastured poultry chickens are raised on pasture (grass, sunshine, insects, etc.), but the best part is that they are fed Cocofeed which contains no soy.  Not many companies can say the same.  Cocofeed has all of the benefits of…you guessed it; Coconuts. 

But What is Cocofeed Anyway?

Cocofeed is an organic chicken-feed ration developed by Tropical Traditions that contains coconut pulp as well as other high-quality natural ingredients. The coconut pulp is the residue left over after coconut oil has been extracted from the coconut meat. Cocofeed contains NO soy.

Here is short video on how pastured chickens should be raised, watch this short video (less than a minute).

Finally, to keep meals healthier, marinate chicken in seasoned fruit juice or Kombucha (it isn’t bad as I have used beer or wine in marinades). You can also use chicken broth instead of oil-based marinades before baking.

Savory And Easy Roasted Chicken with Vegetables

Ingredients

  • 3-4 lb organic pastured chicken find pastured chickens here
  • 1/4 lb pastured butter
  • For The Marinade Wet Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup of kombucha Trust me this replaces the wine but is amazing
  • Juice of one lemon
  • 1/4 orange juice
  • 1 tsp coconut aminos find coconut aminos here
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • Dry Ingredients
  • 1 tsp Himalayan or celtic salt (I like this one
  • Mixed pepper to taste
  • Fresh Thyme
  • Dash of Italian herbs mix
  • 1/2 tbsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric find certified organic turmeric here
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • The Vegetables
  • 1 cup brussel sprouts halved
  • 1/2 cup diced brown mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup finely diced red onion
  • 6 small red potatoes

Instructions

  • (Day before cooking)
  • Rinse the chicken thoroughly inside and out. Remove any pin feathers, fat and pat the outside dry. (Remove giblets if any). Set aside.
  • The Marinade
  • In a large mixing bowl add the wet ingredients frist. Add the dry ingredients next, and whisk until all ingredients have fully incorporated.
  • Wear gloves then proceed to rub the marinade all over the chicken– including inside thoroughly.
  • Put in the refrigerators just so all of those juices and flavors saturate the chicken meat. Turn bird once or twice before cooking.
  • Let it sit overnight or even longer.
  • (Next Day- Cooking)
  • Take butter out of the fridge so it will be room temperature and ready to be used shortly.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F(230 degrees C) and cook whole (thawed) chicken for 10-15 minutes. (This step will give it that nice golden color and crisp the skin) Then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and at this point you are going to roast the chicken for 20 minutes per pound.
  • Here is where you use the butter. Grab a piece of butter and carefully insert it under the skin in different areas of the chicken. +
  • In a roasting pan (I used my turkey roasting pan) place the chicken on the rack. Pour some of the marinade evenly. If you have any left save it and add it 15 minutes or so later. (Here
  • And the vegetables? I actually like to add the vegetables 15-20 minutes into cooking the chicken. However, you can spread the vegetables and potatoes at the same time you with the chicken.

Notes

**Always store chicken in the fridge while it marinates, even if you only plan to let it soak for 30 minutes.
+ Oh this tip will come handy for us rookies ha: Tie the together with kitchen string and tuck the wing tips under the body of the chicken.source
