Method

Prepare the Chicken

Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, mix olive oil, chopped fresh rosemary, chopped fresh thyme, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the whole chicken, ensuring to coat both the outside and inside. Let the chicken marinate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.

Roast the Chicken

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the marinated chicken in a roasting pan and roast for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Baste occasionally with the juices from the pan for extra flavor.

Prepare the Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Cook the Potatoes

Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for about 20 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside.

Prepare Garlic Butter

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Mash the Potatoes

In a large mixing bowl, add the drained potatoes. Pour in the garlic butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
