🍋 POULET RÔTI - Le Sud Roasted Chicken Recipe (A Taste of Provence at Home)
A classic French roasted chicken recipe from Le Sud, Poulet Roti with herbs de Provence, root vegetables, and a story of tradition and togetherness.
At Le Sud, some dishes go beyond the plate.
POULET RÔTI — our roasted chicken — is one of them.
It’s simple. Honest. Rooted in tradition.
And for our French Bistro Dinner, we wanted you to take a piece of that experience home.
That’s why each guest receives a jar of Herbes de Provence, the same blend we use in this dish, along with this recipe, so you can recreate the feeling in your own kitchen.
What is Poulet Roti?
“Poulet Roti” refers to a heritage French chicken known for its rich flavor, firm texture, and natural farming practices.
Air-chilled
Free-range
Vegetarian-fed
It’s a true symbol of Provençal cooking, where quality ingredients speak for themselves.

✨ Chef’s Note
Use the pan drippings for a quick jus, deglaze with wine or broth, reduce, and strain.
A Personal Story — From Sandy
Roasted chicken holds a special place in my heart, not just as a dish, but as a symbol of togetherness. It’s never just about the recipe. It’s about the care, the patience, and the intention behind it.
From seasoning the bird to achieving that perfectly crisp skin and tender meat, it reflects something deeper, something personal. The vegetables remind me of gathering fresh ingredients, making the meal feel even more connected to the moment. For me, this dish represents abundance and gratitude. It’s the kind of meal that brings everyone to the table. Where conversations flow, laughter fills the room, and time slows down.
At Le Sud, when we serve this dish, we’re not just serving food. We’re sharing a piece of that tradition with you.
Cheers,
Sandy Chen
