Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. Season the whole chicken with olive oil, salt, and black pepper, making sure to coat it evenly.

  2. 2

    Roast the Garlic

    Wrap the garlic cloves in aluminum foil with a drizzle of olive oil. Place on the grill or in the oven for about 20 minutes, until soft and fragrant.

  3. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Place the chicken on the grill or in the oven, breast side up. Cook for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Baste with olive oil every 20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sugar snap peas, pearl onions, and crimini mushrooms. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender.

  5. 5

    Make the Aioli

    In a bowl, mash the roasted garlic and mix it with mayonnaise and lemon juice until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for 10 minutes before carving. Serve alongside the sautéed vegetables and lemon roasted garlic aioli.
