Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 4 to 5 pounds whole chicken
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 4 crushed garlic cloves
- 1 sliced lemon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and place it in a roasting pan.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, chopped rosemary, thyme, basil, parsley, crushed garlic, salt, and pepper to create an herb mixture.
Rub the herb mixture all over the chicken, ensuring to cover both the outside and inside cavity.
Stuff the cavity of the chicken with sliced lemon.
Tie the legs together with kitchen twine and tuck the wing tips under the body of the chicken to ensure even roasting.
Place the chicken in the oven and roast for about 1.5 hours, or until the skin is golden brown and a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
Serve the chicken with your choice of Paleo-friendly sides for a complete meal.
