Whole Roasted Chicken, Buttery Mashed Potatoes, and Fall Vegetable Medley
Oliver + Celeste

A whole chicken, seasoned with aromatics and stuffed with lemons, roasted to perfection with a crispy skin and juicy interior. After presenting the bird, the chefs picked the meat and saved the carcass for a future stock.

Pounds of potatoes were boiled through then mixed with heaps of butter and a touch of milk before hand-mashing until smooth and dense.

A vibrant mix of seasonal carrots and beets were roasted in the oven with a drizzle of olive oild and a head of garlic. Pulled before they fully softened, these hearty vegetables still had a bit of bite to enhance the texture of the meal.

Will
