[quote=Anonymous]I clipped this recipe from an old post here...

"Roast whole chicken with red potatoes, sweet potatoes, apples & onion.

Preheat oven to 500. 
 Chop veggies. Toss with oil & S & P. put in roasting pan. 
 Pat down chicken with paper towels inside & out. Rub with oil & S & P. add to roasting pan, breast down 
 Turn oven down to 400, chuck it in. After 45 min, flip it breast up & cook another 45.

Not fast, but so so easy & definite crowd pleaser. Bonus of delicious leftovers. "

I'm making this tonight and have a few questions for the more experienced cooks..

1) I chopped the veggies/potatoes etc all fairly big, since they'll be in the oven for an hour and a half at 400.  Sound right?
2) roasting pan.. the kind you use for a turkey, as opposed to a jelly roll pan, right?
3) really -- no other seasonings than the salt, pepper, and oil ?
4) what kind of oil?
5) I just got a convection oven.. should I use the convection function for this?

Clearly I need it spelled out for me.  Thanks so much![/quote]
