Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 whole chicken (about 4-5 pounds)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 lemons, zested and juiced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions to Get It Just Right:
- First things first, preheat that oven to 425°F (220°C). We want it nice and hot to roast that chicken up perfectly!
- Rinse your chicken under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. We want it nice and dry so it can roast perfectly.
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. This is your flavor bomb that’ll coat the chicken.
- Rub that mixture all over the chicken, making sure to get underneath the skin and inside the cavity. Don’t be shy! Get in there with your hands.
- Place the chicken in a roasting pan and make sure it’s breast-side up. You can tuck the wing tips under the chicken if you want to get fancy.
- Roast in that hot oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the juices run clear when you cut between the leg and thigh.
- Once done, let it rest for about 10 minutes before carving. This helps keep all that juicy goodness inside!
