Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 whole chicken (about 4–5 lbs)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lb potatoes, quartered
  • 1 lb carrots, cut into chunks
  • 1 large onion, cut into wedges
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
  3. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme, and minced garlic.
  4. Rub the herb mixture all over the chicken, including under the skin of the breast.
  5. Place the chicken in a large roasting pan.
  6. Arrange the potatoes, carrots, and onion around the chicken in the pan.
  7. Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the pan.
  8. Roast for 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  9. Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
  10. Serve the chicken with the roasted vegetables.

Notes

  • For crispier skin, you can increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) for the last 15-20 minutes of cooking.
  • You can prepare the vegetables and place them in the roasting pan ahead of time, then add the chicken and broth before roasting.
  • This meal pairs well with gravy made from the pan drippings.
