Whole roasted chicken Recipe

Recipe for a whole roasted chicken in the oven:

Ingredients:

1 whole chicken (about 3-4 pounds)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon dried herbs (such as thyme, rosemary, or sage)

1 lemon, sliced.

4 garlic cloves, minced.

Fresh herbs (such as thyme sprigs or rosemary sprigs) for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Remove the giblets from the chicken cavity, if included, and pat the chicken dry with paper towels.

Rub the chicken all over with olive oil, ensuring it is well coated.

Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and dried herbs evenly over the chicken, including inside the cavity.

Stuff the chicken cavity with lemon slices and minced garlic. This will infuse the chicken with flavor as it roasts.

Place the chicken on a rack in a roasting pan, breast-side up.

Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when measured with a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh without touching the bone.

Baste the chicken with its own juices or melted butter every 30 minutes while it roasts. This will help keep the chicken moist and flavorful.

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute and the chicken to become tender.

Carve the roasted chicken and serve it with your favorite sides. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.

Roasting a whole chicken in the oven is a classic and delicious way to enjoy tender and flavorful meat. Feel free to customize the seasoning and herbs to your preference. The lemon and garlic add a delightful aroma and taste to the chicken. Enjoy this roasted chicken as a comforting and satisfying meal!
