Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Step 2
Stuff the cavity of the chicken with the thyme, garlic and bay leaf. Do not truss the chicken. Place the chicken in a Pyrex baking dish, breast side up. Distribute onions, tomatoes and margarine or butter and oil around and on top of the chicken. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Step 3
Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or so, basting every now and then.
- Step 4
Turn the bird breast side down. Add the potatoes and mix well with the juices in the pan. Add more margarine or butter - 1 or 2 ounces, if necessary. Lower the heat to 350 degrees. Cook another 45 minutes, basting occasionally. Serve. The skin should be very, very crisp. The chicken may be garnished with the potatoes.

The chicken should be crisp it's gave Taste when eating
Thought the chicken turned out very tasty. I left out the tomato and added carrots in addition to the onion and potatoes. I did mess up the chicken skin turning it over but I didn't use a rack so I might in the future if I wanted it to look pretty.
