Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    Rub the thyme mixture all over the chicken halves, making sure to get under the skin for maximum flavor.

  3. 3

    Roast the Chicken

    Place the chicken halves in a roasting pan and pour the chicken broth around them. Roast in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the juices run clear and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  4. 4

    Prepare the Carrots

    While the chicken is roasting, wash and trim the rainbow carrots. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast them in a separate pan for about 25-30 minutes until tender and caramelized.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once the chicken is done, let it rest for 10 minutes before carving. Serve it with the roasted rainbow carrots and a side of rice, drizzled with the pan juices.
