Raspberry Chipotle Roast Chicken
Ingredients
Whole Roast Chicken
(1) 4-5 lb chicken, giblets removed
1 Tablespoon plus ½ teaspoon fine sea salt, divided
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 bunch whole slender carrots, tops removed
1 lb small red-skinned potatoes or fingerlings
1 Tablespoon preferred vegetable oil
Raspberry Chipotle Glaze
1 Cup frozen raspberries
½ Cup canned chipotles with sauce, finely chopped
¼ Cup honey
½ teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon cinnamon
For Serving
Fresh lime wedges
Preparation
Step 1
If possible, the night before roasting the chicken, pat it dry, and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon salt and pepper. Place on a rack set over a baking sheet, and refrigerate, uncovered, overnight.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 425℉.
Step 3
In a roasting pan toss together carrots, potatoes, oil, and ½ teaspoon salt. Place chicken breast-side up on a rack in roasting pan over vegetables and roast until well-browned and the internal temperature of the thickest part of the thigh reaches 155℉, about 1 hour 20 minutes.
Step 4
While chicken roasts, prepare glaze. In a medium saucepan combine raspberries, chipotles, honey, cumin, and cinnamon. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium to simmer, stirring frequently, until syrupy, about 10 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh sieve.
Step 5
Brush chicken generously with glaze and return to oven until bronzed and the internal temperature of the thickest part of the thigh reaches 165℉, about 10 minutes. Remove chicken from oven, tent with foil, and let rest for 15 minutes. Serve with any remaining glaze and fresh lime wedges for squeezing.
