More About This Recipe

As wild as it may seem, cooking a whole chicken in a Bundt pan actually makes a whole lot of sense. For one, it’s incredibly efficient; roasting the chicken right side up is as close to rotisserie cooking as you can get. It cooks the chicken evenly on all sides. Beyond that, cooking a chicken in a Bundt pan is smart because the veggies resting beneath the chicken get infused with savory chicken drippings. And don’t even get us started on the fact that this Bundt pan chicken recipe only takes 60 minutes. It’s a well-rounded chicken dinner complete with vegetables all in one pan. Much like our other chicken recipes, you’ll find that the cook time is well worth the wait.
