Roasted Chicken Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Roasting the Chicken

   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Rub the whole chicken with olive oil, then season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and fresh thyme. Place the chicken in a roasting pan and roast for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let rest before carving.

   Cooking Green Beans

   In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and sauté the chopped onion in the bacon fat until translucent. Add the green beans and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Crumble the bacon and stir it back in.
