Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece (4-5 lbs) Whole chicken
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 piece Lemon, juiced and zested
- 1 tablespoon Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 piece Onion, quartered
- 1 piece Carrot, roughly chopped
- 1 piece Celery stalk, chopped
- 1 cup Chicken broth
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Remove the giblets from the chicken cavity if present. Rinse the chicken inside and out with cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, lemon juice, lemon zest, sea salt, black pepper, and paprika to form a flavorful marinade.
Rub the marinade all over the chicken, ensuring the mixture gets under the skin and inside the cavity for maximum flavor.
Stuff the cavity with the quartered onion, chopped carrot, and celery.
Place the chicken on a roasting rack inside a large roasting pan. Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the pan to keep the chicken moist during cooking.
Transfer the chicken to the preheated oven and roast it for 90 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the chicken (not touching the bone) reads 165°F (74°C).
Baste the chicken every 30 minutes with the juices from the pan to keep it juicy and flavorful. If the skin starts to brown too quickly, tent it loosely with aluminum foil.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute for maximum tenderness.
Slice, serve, and enjoy your Yummy Oven Blasted Chicken with your favorite sides!
