Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 whole chicken (about 3-4 lbs)
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 lb carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 1 lb broccoli florets
  • 1 large onion, cut into wedges
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes, carrots, onion, and broccoli with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Rub the chicken all over with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  4. Place the seasoned chicken in the center of a large roasting pan. Arrange the seasoned vegetables around the chicken.
  5. 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).
  6. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving. Serve the chicken with the roasted vegetables.

Notes

  • For extra crispy skin, you can increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) for the last 15 minutes of cooking.
  • Feel free to add other root vegetables like parsnips or sweet potatoes to the mix.
  • A squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the chicken before serving adds a bright flavor.
