Ingredients

For the Chicken

5-6 pounds Roasting Chicken Fresh chicken is key for juicy results and optimal flavor.
1 cup Butter Use unsalted to control the seasoning of your Miso Butter.
1/2 cup White Miso Paste Adds a rich umami component; yellow miso works if you prefer a milder taste.

For the Vegetables

8 oz Mushrooms Fresh varieties enhance flavor and texture; feel free to mix types.
1 lb Red Potatoes Their heartiness makes them perfect for soaking up delicious juices; substitute with Yukon Gold if preferred.
1 lb Brussels Sprouts These provide a nutritious crunch; you can swap them for green beans or asparagus for variety.
3 cloves Garlic Fresh garlic gives a robust flavor; minced ensures even distribution.

For Seasoning

2 tbsp Olive Oil Helps toss and enhance the vegetables; avocado oil is a suitable alternative.
1 tsp Thyme Fresh thyme imparts aromatic qualities; use about a third of the amount if using dried.
Salt Adjust according to your taste preferences for perfect seasoning.
Pepper Adjust according to your taste preferences for perfect seasoning.

Place the chicken on a roasting rack over seasoned vegetables in a large roasting pan.
Roast the chicken for 1.5 to 1.75 hours, checking for an internal temperature of 170°F (75°C).
If browning too quickly, cover with aluminum foil after about 45 minutes.
