A plate with potatoes, brussels sprouts, and a roasted chicken on it

Ingredients

  • 1 whole chicken (about 4-5 pounds)
  • 2 pounds of baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 pound of brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large roasting pan, arrange the halved potatoes and brussels sprouts. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
  3. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and place it on top of the vegetables in the roasting pan. Rub the chicken with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, then season generously with salt, pepper, and additional thyme if desired.
  4. Stuff the cavity of the chicken with lemon wedges to add flavor and moisture.
  5. Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and the juices run clear when pierced at the thigh. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  6. Remove the roasting pan from the oven and let the chicken rest for about 10-15 minutes before carving to retain its juices.
  7. Serve the roasted chicken alongside the potatoes and brussels sprouts for a complete meal. Enjoy your delicious creation!
