1
Prepare the Marinade
In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
2
Marinate the Chicken
Place the whole chicken in a large resealable plastic bag or a bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it's well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

3
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
4
Prepare the Chicken for Roasting
Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Place the chicken breast-side up in a roasting pan.
5
Roast the Chicken
Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) when tested in the thickest part of the thigh.
6
Rest the Chicken
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute.
