Roast Chicken With Lemon And Garlic Recipe
Whole Chicken: for this recipe we’ll be using a two to four pound whole chicken. Don’t forget to remove the giblets from inside the cavity before you get started.
Veggies: large chunks of carrot and celery are laid down as a base for the chicken and yellow onion is stuffed inside the cavity of the bird to give it some extra flavor while roasting. The carrots and celery also soak up some of the delicious roasting juices and are perfect served right alongside the bird.
Butter: any good roasted chicken includes a little bit of butter. It helps to add delicious flavor and for this recipe we’ll combine butter with other aromatics to create a juicy bird. I recommend using a high quality unsalted butter for the best results.

Lemon: chicken and lemon go together like a match made in heaven and for this recipe we’ll use a combination of fresh lemon juice and lemon zest.
Butter – if you need to keep this recipe dairy free you can swap the butter for olive oil or if you tolerate it you can use ghee instead.
Veggies – feel free to use only carrots or celery as a base for the bird if you only have one of these veggies on hand. You can also add a few more root veggies to the skillet if you like. Parsnips or potatoes are always great options.

Step Two: Next, make the herb butter mixture. Add the melted butter, garlic, lemon zest, fresh thyme, a generous pinch of salt, and freshly cracked pepper to a small mixing bowl. Stir everything together until well combined.
Step Three: Next, add the celery and carrots to a large cast iron skillet. Use a paper towel to pat the chicken dry on both the inside and outside and then place the chicken on top of the veggies, breast side up.
Step Four: Use your hands to rub the melted butter mixture under the skin of the chicken as well as inside the cavity, being sure to use all of the butter and cover every nook and cranny.

Step Five: Next, stuff the chicken cavity with the garlic, yellow onion, lemon, and fresh thyme. If you like, you can use a bit of kitchen twine to tie the drumsticks together and keep everything inside.
Step Six: Drizzle the olive oil over the skin of the chicken and then use a basting brush to ensure that the skin is well coated with oil. Then, liberally season the chicken with salt and fresh cracked black pepper.
Step Seven: Place the chicken in the oven, on the middle rack, and roast for an hour, at the thickest part, reaches 165 degrees. Use a large spoon or baster to baste the chicken with the drippings every 30 minutes.

Step Eight: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for ten to fifteen minutes in the skillet before carving. Serve the chicken with the pan drippings or reserve them to make a homemade chicken gravy.
The amount of time it takes to fully roast your chicken will depend on the size and your oven! I typically roast a four pound bird and find that it takes me anywhere between an hour and fifteen minute to an hour and a half. For smaller birds it may take only an hour.
I like to start to check the doneness of my chicken at around 45 minutes. The most accurate way to check for doneness is to use a thermometer, inserted at the thickest part of the chicken but not hitting the bone. When the chicken is fully cooked, the temperature will read 165 degrees Fahrenheit and the juices will run clear and not pink.
Roasted Stuffed Whole Chicken
For that golden brown crispy skin, you’ll need to roast your chicken uncovered instead of covered. If you roast a much larger chicken, that needs more oven time, you may find that the skin on the chicken starts to become too brown. If that happens, you can lightly tent a piece of foil overtop of the chicken to prevent it from burning.
One of my favorite things about roasted chicken is that it can be paired with so many different things! Whether you go with creamy mashed potatoes or a hearty salad, it all works. Here are a few of my favorite things to pair with a roasted chicken:
Leftover roasted chicken is one of my very favorite things. In fact, I’ll often roast a whole chicken just so I can have plenty of leftovers to use in other recipes.

How To Oven Roast Whole Chicken Juicy Tender
Combine olive oil, melted butter, wine (if using) and lemon juice together, rubbing all over the chicken, under the skin and inside the cavity.
Rub the minced garlic over the chicken and under the skin. I do this separately as the last step to maximise the garlic taste.
Stuff the garlic head into the chicken cavity along with the rosemary sprigs and the squeezed lemon halve. You can also use sprigs of Thyme or any other herb.
The Best Simple Roast Chicken
I like to go in the carcass, over the chicken and under the skin with all of my ingredients to ensure maximum taste. You want every inch covered in flavour.
Over one hour, depending on the size of your bird. This 4 pound (2kg) bird took one hour and 20 minutes cooking time, then a resting time of 10 minutes to keep all of those juices in before slicing.
Usually I’ll pass on chicken breasts because juicy crispy chicken legs are my favourite! BUT! In this roast chicken recipe? I eat it ALL. The breasts come out so moist. NO dry meat happening on this plate!
