Preparation

Prepare the Chicken

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the whole chicken dry with paper towels and place it in a roasting pan.

Season the Chicken

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken, including under the skin.

Add Lemon

Cut the lemon in half and place it inside the cavity of the chicken.

Cooking

Prepare the Vegetables

Peel and chop the carrots, potatoes, and onion. Scatter them around the chicken in the roasting pan.

Roast the Chicken

Roast in the preheated oven for about 1.5 hours or until the chicken is golden brown and the juices run clear when pierced at the joint.

Rest and Serve

Let the chicken rest for about 10 minutes before carving. Serve with the roasted vegetables and a glass of red wine.
