Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures a crispy skin and juicy meat.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    Rinse the whole chicken under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Place it in a roasting pan.

  3. 3

    Season the Chicken

    Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and rub it in. Then, sprinkle salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika evenly over the chicken. Make sure to season the cavity as well.

  4. 4

    Add Herbs

    Chop the fresh rosemary and thyme, then sprinkle them over the chicken and inside the cavity.

Veggie Preparation

  1. 5

    Prep the Vegetables

    Peel and chop the carrots and potatoes into large chunks. Peel the onion and quarter it.

  2. 6

    Arrange Vegetables

    Place the chopped vegetables around the chicken in the roasting pan. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Roasting

  1. 7

    Roast the Chicken

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

  2. 8

    Basting

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

Final Steps

  1. 9

    Rest the Chicken

    Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute.

  2. 10

    Serve

    Carve the chicken and serve it with the roasted vegetables. Enjoy your meal!
