Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the chicken under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the herb mixture all over the chicken, ensuring even distribution, including under the skin where possible for maximum flavor.
Arrange the sliced lemon inside the cavity of the chicken for a citrusy aroma.
Place the chicken in the center of a large roasting pan.
In another bowl, toss the halved radishes with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
Arrange the radishes around the chicken in the roasting pan.
Roast the chicken and radishes in the preheated oven for about 1.5 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 165°F (75°C).
Broil the chicken for an additional 5 minutes to crisp up the skin, if desired.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
Serve the roasted chicken with the tender radishes on the side.
