Juicy, savory, and aromatic, mayo roasted chicken is the tastiest one-pan meal you can make for your family.
Roasted Chicken and Vegetables
This is the easiest and tastiest way to cook an entire chicken and vegetables for your family. In fact, you can make so much chicken that you have leftovers for other meals in the week and for your meal prep.
The mayo mixture is what sets this chicken recipe apart from all the others (even these incredible air fryer chicken thighs). It’s amazing how tasty a combination of mayo, Worcestershire sauce and apple cider vinegar can be.
It’s tangy and keeps the chicken tasting juicy too.
Mayo Roasted Chicken Breast
This recipe is the perfect way to cook a whole chicken, so buy it when it goes on sale. You can also make this recipe with chicken breasts too. If you use chicken breasts instead of whole chicken, you’ll have to adjust the cooking time.
A chicken breast will cook quicker than a whole chicken. If you cook the whole chicken here are some easy way to use the leftover cooked chicken.

Best Herbs For Chicken
When you make this roasted chicken with fresh herbs. As it roasts, the aromas will infuse into the meat in a way that dried, ground herbs just can’t.
The best herbs to use with chicken include sage and thyme. You should also use fresh lemon, not jarred lemon juice. It will be zestier and brighter.
What To Eat With Chicken
This mayo roasted chicken is made with veggies so it’s an entire meal in one pan. You don’t have to add more sides, but you can if you want.
The best sides to add to the table include mashed cauliflower, garlic knots, or keto breadsticks. Just add your favorite low-carb breads to the side and dinner is ready. If you want more veggies to the dinner, add a broccoli salad. It’s the perfect starter.
Best Keto Vegetables
You can add your favorite vegetables to this dish. Just know that whatever you add to the recipe will adjust how many macros are in each serving.
I used celery, carrots, and two different types of onions (white and red). You could replace the chicken with green beans or cauliflower or add some cauliflower to the bed or vegetables.
You’ll often find carrots in chicken soup, so I used it in this roasted chicken recipe.
