Directions

135 min.
1. Step

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). It's crucial to let the oven preheat fully to ensure that the chicken roasts evenly.

2. Step

Rub the chicken all over with olive oil, salt, and pepper. This will help you achieve that beautiful golden, crispy skin.

3. Step

In the cavity of the chicken, place the lemon quarters, garlic cloves, rosemary, and thyme. This imparts a mild flavor to the chicken from inside out.

4. Step

For the herb stuffing, melt some butter in a pan, then add the onion and celery until soft. Add in the bread pieces, parsley, sage, rosemary, salt and pepper stirring together until well combined. Use the chicken broth to moisten the mixture. Mix them well and let it cool slightly before stuffing in the chicken. Stuffing should not be packed tightly, as it might not cook evenly.

5. Step

Place the stuffed chicken on a roasting rack and roast for about 20 minutes per pound, or until the chicken's internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

6. Step

Let the chicken rest for about 10 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, making for a more flavorful and juicy chicken.

7. Step

Enjoy this wonderful roast chicken with friends and family. It pairs beautifully with a side of green salad or roasted vegetables.
