Alison Roman has a much better technique (and makes much more sense)for roasted chicken with anchovy butter. I’ll stick with her.

Is that the NYT one with the marinated thighs? You’re missing out if you don’t try this one also!! Alison’s missed the bread and potatoes!! Ina has a similar recipe with a whole chicken roasted on top of bread but, in my opinion,Corre’s is a much better dish!

This recipe sounds like it would be delicious based on the ingredients, but the directions are extremely complicated. You cannot mean to put the chicken on the oven rack?? A mess - Perhaps you mean on a rack inside the baking dish with the potatoes and bread underneath it? Please reread the recipe for better clarification. Thank you.

It states the bird does go directly on the oven rack however you place a roasting pan underneath with the potatoes and bread so that catches all the juices. Will be interesting!

I made this last weekend and am making again, today. It was actually very simple. I put the potatoes and bread into a large, aluminum pan (disposable.) I used my cooling rack over the top of the pan and put the chicken on top of the rack. It worked like a charm. I did par boil the potatoes ahead of time to give them a head start. I also used two sticks of butter. It was a beautiful accident as I had the Kerrygold in a block and forgot to cut in half!! I served at a dinner party to rave reviews! I also added just a bit of olive oil when I put the potatoes and bread back into the oven just to ensure the crispiness. Corre, this is a fantastic way to roast a chicken!!Thanks so much for the recipe

Reads delicious, but who cleans that oven afterward?

Some people and cultures roast a chicken on top of sliced bread . . .
