Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Rinse the chicken inside and out under cold water. Pat it dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    Rub the entire chicken with olive oil, then season generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme, making sure to coat the inside cavity as well.

  3. 3

    Add Aromatics

    Stuff the cavity of the chicken with the whole lemon (halved) and fresh rosemary sprigs.

  4. 4

    Roast the Chicken

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

  5. 5

    Rest and Serve

    Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. Serve warm.
