1 HOUR Complete Roast Chicken Dinner w Potatoes & Gravy | Marion’s Kitchen

Everyone loves a dinner hack, but sometimes you want the works. That's where my recipe for the easiest complete roast chicken dinner comes in: a golden, crispy roast chicken, bacon fat potatoes and a delectable pan gravy. And the complete dinner comes together in an hour of being home from work. It doesn't get much better…

Oh! BTW, I have REALLY bad Carpel Tunnel Syndrome and it’s really difficult for me to spatchcock a chicken or turkey. I decide to purchase a $5 pair of garden pruners! They are absolutely magical for spatchcocking poultry! I’m right handed and I’ve lost quite a bit of strength in my right hand, my entire ring and pinky fingers are numb along withy palm going up to my ring and pinky fingers. The garden pruner has been such a blessing for me and makes it easy peasy to do these cuts! Just a thought for people who may have the same issues as I do or even arthritis! I hope this helps someone as much as it’s helped me! 😊😊😊

I do a similar chicken cooking technique, except as the oven is preheating to 450°f I put in the cast iron skillet into the oven and it heats up at the same time.

I cut up the whole chicken into pieces and when the oven is upto temp, I take the cast iron pan and add butter and place chicken skin side down in the pan and put back into the oven for exactly 15 minutes. After 15 minutes I flip chicken over and back in the oven for another 15 minutes or until done. As long as the chicken is around 4 pounds it shouldn't take more then 30 minutes to cook.

Love the pan juices for gravy.

I will give a try on my next weekly chicken kid dinner

Looks so great!!! I’ve never seen spuds done like that before, I’m totally stealing that.

This looks amazing Marion. I wonder if you could demonstrate how to carve up the cooked chicken. I love this butterflied method as it means so much of the skin is browned and crispy, but I struggle to carve it nicely so a demo would be appreciated. Thank you for your great videos and recipes.

I've already spoilt my wife this last week by cooking her your spicy lamb cutlets and then beef and broccolii stir fry.
Both were real winners.
Now I'll have to try this 1 hour chicken dinner.
I love making the effort to please her and the rewards are sometimes well and truly worth it..if you get my drift ...nudge, nudge.

[tinaetheridge]

That's the way I love gravy you just made.

[AussieDadSydney]

Love it mate, look amazing. Going to try!!

The potato’s in the pan slightly crushed is my secret weapon for those impromptu dinner parties.

When people are out on the deck socialising and I’ve totally missed managed my time doing them this way is such a sneaky cheat, they are none the wiser haha

When we render bacon or saute onions we add some water, with some oil for the onions to the cold pan. That way you have a temp high enough to render bacon or soften onions till the water evaporates and it begins to fry/saute, takes abit longer 3-4 minutes depending on the amount of water you use. But reduces the chance of the bacon burning and the onion caramelized better, especially if you have a larger amount we have found. When caramelizeing onions we will often add a splash of water during the process to slow it down, allowing the acids to break down better for better sweetness. Adding the water also washes maybe deglazes for want of a better discription the browning evenly to all the onions for a more even results colour/texture/flavour wise. With the mayo we sometimes add extra herbs spices, depending on what additional flavours we desire. Thanks for the video, take care, God bless one and all.

[brendabell]

Question: wouldn’t it be better to rub the mayo first and then sprinkle with salt? I feel like when salt is applied first and then the mayo the salt just moves around when brushing the mayo on top and the salt doesn’t stay evenly distributed on the chicken 🤔

this looks so good!!! Can't wait to make this for Easter

Ther's a reason why there are cooking books just about sauces and gravy. It does make a delicious difference.
Maybe once a year I'm cooking a classic jus. Yes: it takes about 8hours, easily. But the result is just phenomenal. I use the fat as a spread on bread.
The elevation it brings to a sauce is another level. I could provide a recipe from a german spoken chef. But a link here would make this comment end in a list of blocked comments. Just tell me if I should send it (as an answer to your answer, then). He uses beef. I'm fortunate to have a deer farmer just a few miles away. Greetings from the far north of Germany!
