Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    Remove the giblets from the chicken cavity and pat the chicken dry with paper towels.

  3. 3

    Season the Chicken

    Rub the olive oil all over the chicken. Season generously with salt and black pepper, making sure to get some inside the cavity as well.

  4. 4

    Add Aromatics

    Smash the garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife and place them inside the cavity along with the fresh rosemary and lemon (cut into halves).

Vegetable Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Peel and chop the carrots and potatoes into large chunks. Cut the onion into quarters.

  2. 6

    Arrange Vegetables

    Spread the chopped vegetables around the chicken in the roasting pan. Drizzle with a little olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.

Roasting

  1. 7

    Roast the Chicken

    Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven and roast the chicken for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  2. 8

    Baste the Chicken

    Every 30 minutes, baste the chicken with the juices from the bottom of the pan to keep it moist.

Resting

  1. 9

    Let it Rest

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving. This helps the juices redistribute.
