Get ready for this epic one-pan rotisserie chicken with roasted veggies.

It’s super delicious and a great way to meal prep for the week.

Don’t you just love those one-dish dinners??? I know I do.

This chicken recipe was the result of some massive experimentation on my part. I started out wanting to make a rotisserie chicken recipe my mom sent.

But then I decided I didn’t want to make a separate side dish so I rummaged through the fridge to see what I had on hand.

I used whatever veggies were in my fridge and the end result was so amazing and flavorful.

The ginger and star anise really shine and the apricot mustard glaze makes the skin golden and crunchy.

You are gonna love this.

Add the spices (garlic, ginger, cumin, turmeric, allspice, star anise stars, salt, pepper, and chilli). Add the olive oil and toss to coat. Place veggies in a roasting pan.

Generously season inside and outside of the chicken with salt, pepper, and chicken spice. Place an onion inside the chicken and lay it on top of the veggies
