Lemon and Garlic Herbed Roasted Chicken
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken gizzards and such removed and discarded
- 2 Tb extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon parsley
- 1 teaspoon crushed rosemary
- ½ teaspoon rubbed sage
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 whole lemon
- 6 cloves garlic
Instructions
- To begin, preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Pat a roasting chicken dry with paper towels and place it in a roasting pan.
- In a small dish, combine 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil with a teaspoon of thyme leaves, parsley, and crushed rosemary leaves, 1/2 teaspoon each of rubbed sage, black pepper, and sea salt. Give these a stir.
- Spread this mixture all over the chicken.
- Now, cut a fresh lemon in half and crush 6 whole cloves of garlic. No need to peel them first.
- Stick the garlic and lemon inside the chicken.
- Tuck the tips of the wings underneath and it is ready for the oven. Bake this for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until it tests done with a meat thermometer (165 degrees.) Monitor the chicken to make sure it doesn't get too brown. If it is, simply cover with the lid of the roasting pan, or with a tent of foil, and continue baking until it is done.
- Let this gorgeous bird rest for 15 minutes before you cut it up to serve.
- Enjoy!
