Bundt pan

At Chatelaine, we love our bundt pans! They're predominantly used to bake delicious cakes and desserts like our ooey-gooey monkey bread with minimum effort and spectacular results. Seeing as today is National Bundt Day, we decided to have a little fun with this kitchen staple and use it for a dinner main, too. Inspired by a roast chicken in a bundt pan that we saw online (smart!), we tested it and love it. I love this one-pot idea (cook the chicken and vegetables together) and think it's a genius alternative to beer-can chicken.

Follow our step-by-step guide to making this one-'bundt pan' roast chicken dinner:
