Heating Instructions
1. Prepare Your Ingredients
Preheat oven to 450 °F. Wash and dry the fresh
produce. Remove any dry outer layers of the
fennel bulb and cut in half, cut the red onion in
half, peel off the outer skin, and peel the carrot.
Cut the fennel, red onion, and carrot into 1-inch
pieces. If any potatoes are larger than 1 inch,
cut in half. Leave the smaller potatoes whole.
Place all cut vegetables into a large mixing bowl.
Remove the chicken from the bag and discard bag. Lay the chicken on a baking sheet, skin side up, and press down to flatten on the tray. Chef’s Tip: A whole chicken that is split down the back is called a spatchcock chicken. This allows the chicken to lay flat and cook evenly. 3. Season Your Vegetables and Roast
In the mixing bowl with the cut vegetables, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Mix well so everything is evenly coated, and arrange the vegetables on the baking sheet around the chicken. Place tray in oven and set your timer for 35 minutes. Finally, in the same mixing bowl you had your vegetables in, add the bag of spinach. 4. Remove Chicken and Let Rest
When your timer goes off, check your chicken to make sure it is cooked through. If not, allow to cook another 5–10 minutes and check again. Once cooked, take baking sheet out of oven and carefully remove the chicken to a cutting board or plate to rest. Chef’s Tip: Allow your chicken to rest for 10 minutes. By letting it rest, the moisture gets locked in and your chicken will be tender and juicy. 5. Make The Warm Salad
While the chicken is resting, carefully add all of the hot, roasted vegetables and the juices to the bowl with the spinach. Toss to coat and season with salt and pepper to taste. 6. Carve the Chicken
Start by cutting the chicken in half. Then separate the half into the white and dark meat quarters by holding the breast down to the cutting board with one hand and gently pulling the drumstick out and away from the center of the chicken. Cut each quarter into smaller pieces by splitting the breast into 2 pieces and separating the leg and thigh. Repeat with the remaining half chicken. Serve chicken with warm salad and enjoy!

What Makes a Product Top-Rated?
Our food experts review our entire stock of fruit, vegetables, and seafood on a daily basis, taking notes and ranking each product. Only the best of the best receive our "Top-Rated" designation.
These ratings are updated each morning on our website to ensure that our recommendations will remain accurate for deliveries that day and on the following day.
ABOUT TYING
Our master butchers will tie your roast for you at no extra charge. The elegant, uniform shape of a tied roast allows it to cook evenly and makes for nice, even slices when serving.
When planning your meal, keep in mind that tied roasts take a little more time in the oven than untied ones
Remove the butcher's twine before serving.
ABOUT OUR PACKAGING
Standard PackagingA Styrofoam tray that is sealed in plastic — rigid enough to stack in the fridge, and free of charge. Meat in standard packaging is best when eaten within 3 days (stored at a refrigerator temperature of 38 degrees). For optimal freezing we recommend vacuum packaging.
Vacuum PackagingThis sturdy, airtight plastic pouch will protect and prolong the life of your order. It is perfect for freezing. With the seal intact, vacuum-packed meat will keep for up to 9 months in your freezer. For your convenience, each roast is individually vacuum packed; when meat is sold as a chop, steak or by the pound, your meat will be vacuum-packed based on minimum quantity. For example, if the minimum quantity of chops is two, your chops will arrive in vacuum-packs of two.
NOTE: Always check the "use or freeze by" date on your product label.
ESTIMATED WEIGHT
While shopping, and prior to day of your delivery, you will see in your cart an estimated weight and price for variable weight items which are priced by the pound. On the day of your delivery, your actual variable items are prepared by weighing each item to determine the final price you see on your receipt. Please note that actual weight will vary from the estimated weight due to seasonality, source, and country of origin.
ABOUT OUR HEAT INDEX
We've developed this Heat Index to give you an approximation of how spicy a particular dish tastes. Keep in mind that people tolerate chili heat in very different ways, so this scale may not reflect your individual experience with a dish.*
NO HEATThere's no heat here — safe for the kids.
MINOR HEATExpect no more than a little tingle on the tongue.
SUBTLE HEATOne might describe this dish as "peppery."
MEDIUM HEATA spicy warmth that builds as you eat and lingers a while.
STRONG HEATThis dish has kick — keep a cool beverage on hand.
FIERY HEATYour eyes will water. Your nose will run. You've been warned.
*Note for sensitive palates: Heat ratings are never guaranteed! Due to unpredictable environmental variations that range from rainfall to chance genetic changeability, chili spice often differs. Even two identical-looking jalapeños can pack two very different heat levels.
