Instructions

1. Preparation:

   • Begin by rubbing the whole chicken with salt, black pepper, and dried rosemary, ensuring it is evenly coated with the seasoning.

2. Marination:

   • Use a fork to prick the chicken all over. This allows the seasoning to penetrate deeper into the meat.
   • Stuff the cavity of the chicken with a whole lemon. This adds a tangy flavor and helps keep the chicken moist during roasting.
   • Secure the legs of the chicken with kitchen twine to maintain its shape during cooking.

3. Marinating Time:

   • Place the seasoned chicken in the refrigerator and let it marinate for 3-4 hours, or even overnight if possible. This allows the flavors to meld and enhances the taste of the chicken.

4. Roasting:

   • Preheat your oven to 220°C (200°C for fan ovens).
   • Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and place it breast-side up on a roasting pan or baking sheet.
   • Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on its size and desired doneness. For crispier skin, you may extend the cooking time slightly.
   • If using a fan oven, consider turning the chicken 180 degrees halfway through the cooking process to ensure even browning.

5. Optional Variation:

   • If you prefer, you can substitute dried rosemary with oregano for a slightly different flavor profile.

6. Serve:

   • Once roasted to perfection, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before carving.
   • Serve your Roasted Herb Chicken hot with your favorite sides, such as Roasted Butternut Squash or a fresh green salad.

Tips for Success

• Ensure the chicken is thoroughly marinated for the best flavor and juiciness.
• Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; the internal temperature should reach 75°C (165°F).
• Experiment with different herbs and seasonings to personalize the dish to your taste.

This Roasted Herb Chicken recipe is not only delicious and satisfying but also a great option for those following a low-carb, high-protein diet. Enjoy the tender, flavorful meat with its crispy skin, and savor the compliments it brings to your table!
