Ingredients
- 1 5-pound Whole chicken
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 5 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and place it on a rack in a roasting pan.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Add the minced garlic to the olive oil mixture.
Finely chop the fresh rosemary and thyme, add them to the olive oil mixture, and stir well.
Rub the herb mixture all over the chicken, making sure to get under the skin for extra flavor.
Cut the lemon in half and place it inside the cavity of the chicken along with a tablespoon of butter.
Tie the chicken legs together with kitchen twine and tuck the wings under the body.
Dot the remaining butter over the chicken skin.
Place the chicken in the preheated oven and roast for about 1.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before carving.
Serve with keto-friendly side dishes of your choice.
