How to Make Succulent Roast Chicken

6. Add Your Favorite Veggies

Nearly any vegetable works with baked chicken. Wash your selected vegetables thoroughly with water, pat dry and rub with olive oil. Sprinkle on the same medley of spices you used for your chicken pieces to help the veggies' flavor blend with that of the chicken and then place them in the pan beside the chicken pieces or mingle them around the full chicken for a colorful dish. Be sure to check the cooking time of your vegetables, so you know when to add them to the pan. Potatoes can be baked alongside the chicken for the entire cooking duration, while sliced carrots and bell peppers typically finish baking within 30 minutes.
