Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Rinse the whole chicken under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.

Season the Chicken
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade. Rub this mixture all over the chicken, making sure to get it under the skin and inside the cavity.

Roast the Chicken
Place the seasoned chicken in a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) when measured at the thickest part of the thigh.

Rest and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. Serve with your favorite sides.
