I’ve been sitting here for almost 2 hours trying to write this post, but I can’t seem to summon up the energy.  Ever have those days?  All I really want to do right now is sit on my couch and continue with my Gilmore Girls marathon…I’m on season 6 and am determined to finish it before the reunion show comes out.  What I really should be doing is writing for my blog, cleaning the mess I’m staring at, then I should make the raspberry and cream Bundt cake I’ve been planning for ages, but…the…couch…is…so…comfortable.

Actually now that I think about it, this is kind of a good segue into this chicken dish.  It’s recipes like this that save me on days like today…throw all the ingredients into one dish, bake it, then eat it.  Everyone gets fed a healthy home cooked meal with minimal effort.

I’m a big fan of one pot dishes for roasted chicken.  Chicken and vegetables roast together perfectly, with both being cooked and done at the same time, so there is no need for separate dishes which leaves you with only one dish to clean, hallelujah.  For this particular roasted chicken, I seasoned it with a spice rub that I always use for my ribs (the best ribs ever I think!), but I just knew it would be perfect for chicken.  This rub really is so fantastic, you can mix it up in 1 minute then smother the chicken in it…you’ll love the flavour.  You need to try it on ribs too…you really really do.

Then to the dish I add what ever vegetables I happen to have around at the time, but really you could use just about anything…carrots, potatoes, onions, parsnips, cauliflower, beets, whatever you like.  Once that’s done throw the dish in the oven and bake.  Then about 15 minutes before serving this dish I smother the chicken with loads of BBQ sauce then put it back in the oven so the sauce can get all caramelized and delicious.  It’s a great way to have BBQ flavour without actually using your BBQ.  Yum.
