Ingredients
1 whole chicken (approximately 4-5 lbs)
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
Zest of 1 lemon
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, rosemary, thyme, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
-
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Place it on a roasting pan or baking dish, breast side up.
-
Rub the herb and lemon mixture all over the chicken, making sure to get some under the skin as well.
-
Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Baste the chicken with the juices every 20-30 minutes to keep it moist.
-
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before carving. This will help retain its juiciness.
-
Slice, serve, and enjoy!
