Long Live Victory Roast Chicken & Rainbow Root Veg with Crown Gremolata

"Create a triumphant, home-oven feast called Long Live Victory Roast Chicken & Rainbow Root Veg with ‘Crown’ Herb Gremolata, inspired by Taylor Swift’s ‘Long Live.’ Vibe: kings & queens, stadium lights, confetti herbs—golden, proud, and shareable.Core: 1 whole chicken (3.5–4 lb); olive oil or softened butter; kosher salt; black pepper; garlic powder; smoked paprika; lemon zest. Veg: baby potatoes (mix of Yukon/purple if possible), carrots, red onion wedges, parsnips (or sweet potato), olive oil, salt/pepper.Gremolata (‘crown’): finely chopped parsley, lemon zest, micro-grated garlic, olive oil, pinch salt.Method: Heat oven to 450°F (then roast at 425°F). Pat chicken very dry. Option A (faster): spatchcock (remove backbone, flatten). Option B: roast whole. Rub bird with oil/butter + salt/pepper/garlic powder/smoked paprika + lemon zest. Toss veg with oil, salt/pepper; spread on a rimmed sheet pan or large roasting pan. Set chicken on top (spatchcock skin-side up or whole on a rack). Roast at 425°F until skin deep golden and the thickest breast hits 160–165°F and thighs 175°F (about 45–60 min spatchcock; 60–80 min whole). Rest 10–15 min. Stir gremolata.Serve: carve and platter chicken over roasted veg; spoon gremolata over the top like green ‘confetti’; lemon wedges on the side.Include: yield 4–6; total time ~1 hr 15 min (spatchcock) or ~1 hr 35 min (whole); exact ingredient amounts (cups/grams); step-by-step with spatchcock and whole-roast options; doneness cues (temps + juices run clear); simple pan-jus tip (deglaze with splash broth/lemon); carving tips.Swaps: dairy-free by default if using oil; gluten-free by default; vegetarian ‘crown’ option: Roasted Cauliflower Crown with Chickpeas & Rainbow Roots (same spices, roast 425°F ~35–45 min).Make-ahead: dry-brine uncovered in fridge up to 24 hrs for extra-crisp skin.Plating: golden bird with emerald herb ‘crown’ and jewel-tone veg ‘banners’—confetti finish, fully home-kitchen accessible"
