Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pieces Whole chicken
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme leaves
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 pieces Lemon, sliced
- 1 cup Dry white wine
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 500 grams Baby potatoes, halved
- 250 grams Cherry tomatoes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the whole chicken dry with paper towels and place it on a roasting tray.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, honey, fresh thyme leaves, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Rub the marinade generously all over the chicken, including under the skin and inside the cavity.
Place the lemon slices inside the cavity of the chicken for added aroma and flavor.
Scatter the baby potatoes and cherry tomatoes around the chicken on the roasting tray.
Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the vegetables and season them with salt and pepper.
Pour the dry white wine into the bottom of the roasting tray to help keep the chicken moist and create a flavorful sauce.
Place the roasting tray in the oven and roast the chicken for 90 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
About halfway through the cooking time, baste the chicken with the juices from the bottom of the tray to keep it moist and enhance the glaze.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
Serve the chicken with the roasted potatoes, cherry tomatoes, and a drizzle of the pan juices for a complete, delicious Provencal-inspired meal.
