It is the closest you will get to cooking a rotisserie chicken without using a rotisserie. Bundt pan chicken allows your chicken to cook evenly on every single side as the vegetables sit in the pan soaking up all the chicken drippings allowing them to be filled with so much flavor.

Bundt Pan Chicken

Ingredients

1 ½ pounds baby Yukon potatoes, halved

1 sweet onion, cut into wedges 

1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into sticks

½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, divided 

½ teaspoon salt 

½ teaspoon paprika 

½ teaspoon black pepper 

½ teaspoon garlic powder 

½ teaspoon onion powder 

½ teaspoon dried oregano 

1 (3 to 4 pound) whole chicken

How to Make Bundt Pan Chicken

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Prepare a 12-cup Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray. Fold a square of aluminum foil and shape it over the hole in the Bundt pan. Into the Bundt pan, place the vegetables.
  • Place 4 tablespoons of butter in a microwave-safe bowl and heat until melted. Pour the melted butter over the vegetables and toss to coat.
  • In a small bowl, combine the salt, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried oregano. 
  • Divide the seasoning blend in place half into a bowl with the remaining butter. Using a fork, combine the seasoning with the butter until well blended. Set aside.
  • Sprinkle the other half of the seasoning over the vegetables in the Bundt pan and toss the vegetables to coat well.
  • Pat the chicken dry and rub the chicken all over with the herb butter. Seat the chicken over the tube hole in the Bundt pan.
  • Bake for 60 to 70 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees in the thigh (without touching a bone.)

Tips & Tricks

  • Choose the Right Size Chicken: A 3 to 4-pound chicken works best in a standard Bundt pan. Larger chickens may not fit properly, so double-check the weight to ensure it will sit snugly on the center tube.
  • Dry the Chicken Well: Before rubbing on the butter and seasoning, pat your chicken dry with paper towels. This helps the skin crisp up nicely as it roasts.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer: To avoid overcooking or undercooking, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The thickest part of the thigh should reach 165°F for safe, juicy results.
  • Customize the Veggies: If you’re not a fan of the listed vegetables, feel free to swap in your favorites! Root vegetables like parsnips, sweet potatoes, or Brussels sprouts work well and hold up to roasting alongside the chicken.
  • Foil Cover for Easy Cleanup: Placing a small piece of foil over the Bundt pan’s center hole keeps juices from spilling out, making cleanup easier and preventing the pan from sticking.

FAQs

Absolutely! While baby Yukon potatoes, carrots, and sweet onions add great flavor, you can swap them with other hearty veggies like parsnips, sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, or bell peppers. Just make sure the vegetables are cut into similar sizes for even cooking.

No, covering isn’t necessary. Leaving the chicken uncovered helps it brown nicely and keeps the skin crisp. If you find it’s browning too quickly, you can loosely tent it with foil towards the end of the cooking time.

If you don’t have a Bundt pan, you can try using a roasting rack inside a regular pan to elevate the chicken and still allow air circulation. Alternatively, a loaf pan with an oven-safe can in the center can sometimes work as a DIY Bundt pan substitute.

Using a meat thermometer is the best way to ensure the chicken is fully cooked. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh without touching the bone. When it reads 165°F, your chicken is done.

Of course! Feel free to add your favorite spices or fresh herbs. Rosemary, thyme, and lemon zest are great additions if you want a different flavor profile. Just adjust according to taste!
