- 1 whole chicken (about 4-5 pounds)
- 2 lemons, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 2 teaspoons dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Rinse the whole chicken under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Place it in a roasting pan or a baking dish.
- In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and dried oregano. Mix well to create the herb marinade.
- Rub the herb marinade all over the chicken, making sure to coat it evenly. Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper.
- Stuff the cavity of the chicken with sliced lemons for extra flavor and moisture.
- Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven and roast the chicken for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
- Halfway through the cooking time, baste the chicken with the juices from the pan to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Once the chicken is cooked through and golden brown, remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before carving.
- Garnish the lemon herb roasted chicken with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
- Carve the chicken into pieces and serve hot alongside your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad.
