Ingredients:
- 1 whole organic chicken (about 4-5 pounds)
- 2 organic lemons
- 4 cloves of organic garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons of fresh organic rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons of fresh organic thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons of fresh organic parsley, chopped
- 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Rinse the organic chicken inside and out with cold water, then pat it dry with paper towels.
- Zest one of the lemons and set the zest aside. Cut both lemons in half.
- In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, lemon zest, and olive oil to create a herb marinade.
- Rub the herb marinade all over the chicken, including under the skin and inside the cavity. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Place the lemon halves inside the chicken cavity.
- Tie the legs together with kitchen twine and tuck the wing tips under the body of the chicken.
- Place the chicken in a roasting pan breast-side up and roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 30 minutes to 1 hour and 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
- Carve the chicken and serve with your favourite side dishes.
