1
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the chicken halves dry with paper towels. Rub them with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
2
Add Aromatics
Sprinkle the minced garlic and fresh thyme over the chicken. Zest the lemon and sprinkle the zest over the chicken as well.
3
Roast the Chicken
Place the chicken halves in a roasting pan, skin side up. Roast in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is golden brown.
4
Prepare Honey Glaze
During the last 10 minutes of roasting, drizzle the honey over the chicken for a sweet glaze.
5
Rest and Serve
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving. Drizzle with lemon oil and garnish with chives.
