Roasted Chicken Ingredients

Method

Roasted Chicken Directions

  1. 1

    Preparation

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and chopped fresh thyme or rosemary. Rub this mixture all over the chicken, including under the skin for extra flavor.

  3. 3

    Stuff the Chicken

    Cut the lemon in half and place it inside the cavity of the chicken. If using, chop the carrots and onion and add them to the roasting pan around the chicken.

  4. 4

    Roast the Chicken

    Place the chicken breast-side up on a roasting rack in a roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear.

  5. 5

    Rest and Serve

    Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. Serve with the roasted veggies and enjoy!
