One of the easiest and most impressive dishes to make for people is a roast chicken and vegetables. After rinsing and drying the chicken, I rub it with some butter, about a tablespoon, and season it with salt and pepper. That is it. Sometimes I will stuff the inside with some garlic and lemon, but that's the extent of the wild things I do to a small chicken.
I always roast the same kind of vegetables when I am making it with chicken - sweet potatoes, red potatoes, carrots and onions - and again, like the chicken, keep it simple. Toss it in some olive oil, salt and pepper and you can call it a day.
Happy Friday Night Dinner.
