How to make it

  • Pre heat oven to 400 degrees
  • Make a rub by combining the 5 spices. Season Chicken pieces with rub on all sides and under the skin. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes to 4 hours.
  • Insert chopped Garlic under skin of each Chicken piece.
  • In a Large Dutch Oven or Covered Baking Dish, toss Potatoes, Onion, Garlic Cloves, Carrots, and Celery with enough of the rub mixture to coat well.
  • Veggies should come up about half way in the pot.

    Jim, I made your recipe last night and this is delicious, flavorful comfort food at its best. Plus, it's so darn easy to put together....what could be better than that?

    I let my chicken (I used all thighs) sit in the rub for 4 hours and then let it cook with the lid off the Dutch oven for the last 30 minutes or so to allow the chicken to brown up. I love the spice rub on the chicken and veggies - and the chicken is so moist and juicy. I was amazed at how much tasty juice there was.

    I served with English cucumber cut on the diagonal and wheat and white flatbread wedges. I also julienned some red pepper and jalapeno to dress up the top with some color and chile zip.

    Great recipe, my dear - thank you! I have sent you some pics to peruse and use. High 5! ;-) ~Vickie

    P.S. Aren't my olive plates nice?

    I love placing any herb under the skin of a roasting chicken like you have done here. Making a spice rub is wonderful too!
    A great way to make friends is to serve them this recipe.

    thanks for the recipe! sounds delish! so I just added an extra chicken to my order from the farm! I keep cinnamon and ginger shakers at the table and use them like (and with) salt and pepper to regulate my blood sugar when I'm pregnant - which keeps the food down! thank you so much, jimrug1!
