Ingredients

1 whole chicken (3 1/2 lbs.), cleaned and patted dry
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 lemon, juiced and zested
8 red potatoes, cut in halves or quarters
2 large carrots, peeled and cut into large chunks
1 small yellow onion, cut into wedges
1 stalk celery, cut into medium chunks
3 garlic cloves, peeled and halved
2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage, finely chopped
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
6 sprigs fresh thyme
1/2 lemon, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds

Steps

1

Preheat oven to 425°F. Coat outside of chicken with 1-2 tablespoons olive oil, plus dried poultry seasoning, salt, pepper and zest of 1/2 lemon (reserve juice for later).
2

Place all veggies and fresh herbs in the Bundt pan and drizzle with remaining olive oil and lemon juice. Sprinkle with additional salt and pepper if desired. Place all lemon slices except one on top of veggies.

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.
