Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from its packaging and pat it dry with paper towels. Place it in a roasting pan.

  3. 3

    Season the Chicken

    Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken. Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly on the surface. Insert the garlic cloves, rosemary, and lemon (cut in half) inside the cavity of the chicken.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Prepare Vegetables (Optional)

    If using, chop the carrots, potatoes, and onion into even-sized pieces. Arrange them around the chicken in the roasting pan.

  2. 5

    Roast the Chicken

    Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven. Roast the chicken for approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear.

  3. 6

    Rest the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute for a juicier result.
