Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 3-4 pounds Whole chicken
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole Lemon
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 pounds Red potatoes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and place it in a large roasting pan.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the chicken and rub it in with your hands to cover the entire surface.
Cut the lemon into quarters and place the slices inside the cavity of the chicken.
Smash the garlic cloves and add them into the chicken cavity along with 1 tablespoon each of chopped rosemary and thyme.
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper over the chicken.
Wash and quarter the red potatoes, leaving the skins on.
In a bowl, toss the potato quarters with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, the remaining rosemary and thyme, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper.
Arrange the potatoes around the chicken in the roasting pan.
Place the pan in the oven and roast for approximately 90 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear when pierced.
Stir the potatoes once halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
Serve the chicken alongside the herbed potatoes, and enjoy your paleo-friendly meal.
