Roasted Half Chicken Recipe

MAIN COURSE

1. 1

   Prepare the Chicken

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

2. 2

   Marinate the Chicken

   Rub the marinade all over the halved chicken, ensuring that it is well-coated both inside and out. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.

3. 3

   Prepare the Potatoes

   While the chicken is marinating, wash and cut the potatoes into wedges. Toss them in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste.

4. 4

   Arrange in Baking Dish

   In a large roasting pan, place the marinated chicken, skin side up, and arrange the potato wedges around it.

5. 5

   Roast the Chicken and Potatoes

   Pour chicken stock into the bottom of the roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the potatoes are golden and tender.

6. 6

   Rest and Serve

   Once cooked, remove the chicken and potatoes from the oven and let them rest for about 10 minutes before carving and serving. Enjoy your herb roasted chicken with the roasted potatoes and chicken jus!
