Ingredients

• 1 4-5 lbs Whole chicken
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 large Lemon, sliced
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 medium Carrots, peeled and chopped
• 1 large Yellow onion, quartered
• 4 medium Potatoes, diced
• 1 cup Chicken broth

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and place it on a large roasting pan.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, honey, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 4

Brush the marinade generously over the entire chicken, including under the skin if possible, for maximum flavor.

Step 5

Stuff the cavity of the chicken with half of the lemon slices and a few sprigs of rosemary and thyme for added aroma.

Step 6

Arrange the carrots, onion, and potatoes around the chicken in the roasting pan.

Step 7

Nestle the remaining lemon slices among the vegetables for an extra citrus touch.

Step 8

Pour the chicken broth into the pan to keep everything moist while roasting.

Step 9

Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven and cook for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) when checked at the thickest part of the thigh.

Step 10

Every 30 minutes, baste the chicken with the juices from the pan to keep it tender and flavorful.

Step 11

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.

Step 12

Serve the chicken with the roasted vegetables on the side, and drizzle with the pan juices for an extra burst of flavor.
