ROAST CHICKEN with POTATOES & CARROTS

This is my first posting and is an easy dish not much to prepared or crack your head about it. Here the recipe..

Ingredients:
1 whole chicken - rub in/out with salt and black pepper (you can add herbs if you like)
1 kg potatoes - peeled, cut to wedges and boiled for 10min.
500gm carrots - peeled, cut to wedges and boiled for 7-10 min.
Season potatoes & carrot with salt, pepper and herb if you like(rosemary/thyme/parley/etc)

Method:
1.Lined a roasting pan with aluminium foil (for easy cleaning) put in the chicken, the season potatoes and carrots and  drizzle some olive oil or dollop with butter. 

2.Bake uncovered at 200 C for 1 hour until cooked. Serve.

Note: if the chicken browned too quickly cover it with aluminium foil to avoid burning. To check the chicken is cooked insert a skewer right thru the chicken thigh and the juice that flow out is clear then the chicken is cooked if not continue baking for another few minutes.
