Writer: Jordan Lane | My Rating: 3.3/5 | Site Rating: 4.7/5
I needed something that wouldn’t wreck every pan in the house—Roasted Butterflied Chicken w. Onions & Carrots claimed it would behave.
As it warmed, the kitchen smelled like a clean lemon-herb lift. I worked clean: cutting board to the left, waste bowl to the right; it keeps my head calm.
Most of the work happened on the stovetop while I packed lunches for tomorrow.
A spill happened, of course, but parchment took the hit, not my pan.
I paused once to check color rather than the timer; food tells you more by sight and scent than numbers ever will.
I kept the music low and the heat lower; patience gave me better texture than bravado.
The flavor leaned safe; the kids ate it, which is its own victory.
It plays well with a simple rice side; the kids barely noticed the swap from fries.
Air fryer the next day gave it life; no sad sogginess.
Brushing the crust with garlic butter would help it carry the filling better.
If you’ve been Googling roasted butterflied chicken onions carrots recipe, know that this one respects your time and your palate.
I’d make it again with small fixes and shave a point off the site’s rating.
