Ingredients
Scale
1 whole chicken (about 4 to 5 pounds)
4–5 medium potatoes, cut into chunks
3–4 carrots, peeled and sliced
4 tablespoons of olive oil
2 teaspoons of salt
1 teaspoon of black pepper
1 tablespoon of garlic powder
1 tablespoon of dried thyme or rosemary
1 lemon, cut into quarters
1 onion, quartered
Optional Additions: A splash of white wine or chicken broth in the roasting pan
Special Garnishes: Fresh parsley or thyme
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Rinse your chicken under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and your choice of herbs. Rub this mixture all over the chicken.
Place the lemon and onion quarters inside the cavity of the chicken.
In a large roasting pan, spread out the potatoes and carrots. Drizzle a bit of olive oil over them and a sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste.
Nestle the chicken right in the middle of the pan, above the veggies.
Slide the pan into your preheated oven and roast for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Once out of the oven, let the chicken rest for about 10-15 minutes before carving.
Carve the chicken and plate it up with the roasted veggies, garnishing with fresh herbs.
