Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare the chicken by patting it dry with paper towels. This helps the skin to crisp up during roasting.
In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, and parsley), lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Rub the herb mixture all over the chicken, making sure to get some under the skin of the breast. Place the lemon halves and garlic cloves inside the cavity of the chicken.
Chop the potatoes, carrots, and onions into large pieces. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the vegetables in a single layer in a roasting pan.
Place the chicken on top of the vegetables in the roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken.
Carve the chicken and serve with the roasted vegetables. Drizzle any pan juices over the chicken and vegetables for extra flavor. Enjoy!
This is a fantastic recipe! The flavors are amazing, and the chicken is so tender and juicy. Highly recommend!
The chicken was a bit dry, even though I let it rest. Flavor was good, but the texture could be improved.
This is my new go-to chicken recipe! The flavors are incredible, and it's so simple to make. The vegetables roasted beautifully alongside the chicken.
Chicken was a bit bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but the flavors didn't pop. Disappointing.
Good, but the herbs weren't as strong as I'd like. Maybe a bit more would improve the flavor. The chicken was cooked well.
