Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 about 4 to 5 pounds whole chicken
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh thyme
- 4 minced garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes
- 1 pound, peeled and cut into chunks carrots
- 1 large, sliced onion
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Remove the giblets from the chicken cavity and pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, juice and zest of the lemon, rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper.
Rub the herb mixture all over the chicken, making sure to coat under the skin and inside the cavity for maximum flavor.
Cut the lemon you juiced into quarters and place inside the cavity of the chicken.
Arrange the baby potatoes, carrots, and onion in a single layer in a large roasting pan.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the vegetables and season with a pinch of salt and pepper, tossing to coat evenly.
Place the chicken on top of the vegetables in the roasting pan.
Tie the chicken legs together with kitchen twine and tuck the wing tips under the body if needed.
Roast in the preheated oven for 1½ hours, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving to ensure the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
Serve the roasted chicken with the cooked potatoes and carrots on the side.
