Recipe: Lemon Herb Roasted Whole Chicken

Ingredients:

• 1 whole chicken (about 4-5 pounds)
• 2 lemons, halved
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 cup chicken broth
• Fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, and parsley) for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Rinse the whole free-range chicken inside and out with cold water. Pat it dry with paper towels.
3. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, extra-virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
4. Rub the garlic-herb mixture evenly over the entire chicken, both on the skin and inside the cavity.
5. Stuff the chicken cavity with the halved lemons and a few sprigs of fresh herbs.
6. Place the seasoned and stuffed chicken in a roasting pan, breast side up.
7. Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the roasting pan.
8. Cover the chicken loosely with aluminum foil and roast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
9. Remove the foil during the last 30 minutes of roasting to allow the skin to become golden and crispy.
10. Once cooked, remove the roasted free-range whole chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
11. Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
