- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Lemon, cut into wedges
- 0.5 bunch Fresh thyme
- 0.5 bunch Fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels to ensure the skin becomes crispy.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, and minced garlic. Mix well.
Step 4
Gently loosen the skin of the chicken by sliding fingers under the skin over the breast and thighs.
Step 5
Rub half of the olive oil mixture under the skin, being sure to coat as evenly as possible, and the other half over the entire chicken.
Step 6
Stuff the cavity of the chicken with the lemon wedges, fresh thyme, and rosemary.
Step 7
Truss the chicken legs with kitchen twine for even cooking.
Step 8
Place the chicken breast side up on a rack in a roasting pan.
Step 9
Roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the thigh reaches 165°F (75°C).
Step 10
After removing the chicken from the oven, tent it with aluminum foil and let it rest for 10 minutes to redistribute the juices.
Step 11
Carve the chicken and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
