Ingredients:

Serving

4 slices bacon
1 tbsp fresh thyme
1 1/2 tsp fresh rosemary
4 lbs whole chickens
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 lb baby carrots, with tops (trimmed )
1 lb fingerling potato
3 -4 cups baby spinach
1 (15 oz) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed

Directions:

Fry the bacon until crisp, then drain on paper toweling; chop half the bacon and combine with chopped thyme and chopped rosemary, reserving the other half of bacon.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F; thoroughly rinse off the chicken inside and out.
Place chicken on a cutting board and use kitchen shears to remove the backbone; turn chicken breast up and gently press to flatten somewhat.
Gently ease the skin from the breast and season inside the pocket with salt pepper and 1/4 of the bacon herb seasoning and smooth skin back over the breast; season the entire outside with more salt, pepper, and 1/4 of the seasoning.
Roast the chicken, on a rack, breast side up, placed over a baking dish for 45 minutes.
Remove the rack and place the partially cooked chicken into the baking dish; surround with the carrots and potatoes.
Roast until the chicken is done, internal temperature of 165 degrees F, and the vegetables are tender, about an hour; sprinkle with the remainder of the bacon herb seasoning and tent with foil about 10 minutes.
Push the vegetables and chicken to one side in the pan; place beans and spinach into the other side of the pan and toss gently with chicken juices.
Sprinkle spinach with reserved bacon, broken into pieces.
Cut chicken into 4 pieces and serve with roasted vegetables and warm spinach salad.
