2.  season the chicken with salt and cracked black pepper on the outside and top with a few dabs of butter.  place in ovenproof dish and set aside.

3.  toss the baby carrots in another ovenproof dish with some extra virgin olive oil and season with salt and cracked black pepper.  add in some chicken stock and a splash of white wine.  sprinkle with thyme leaves and top with a few dabs of butter.

4.  roast chicken and carrots at 475 degrees for 20 minutes then continue roasting at 400 degrees for another 40-50 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken.

  5. Found this through foodgawker and I plan on making this tomorrow night, but I am wondering how much chicken stock did you use for the carrots? Is it just a splash like the wine or is it a little more?

  6. I would add enough chicken stock so that the bottom of whatever baking dish youre using is covered to about a half a centimeter or so :)
