To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 whole chicken, about 4 pounds
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons of fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons of fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 4 cups of root vegetables (such as carrots, parsnips, and potatoes), peeled and chopped into bite-sized pieces
To begin, preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken, making sure to get it under the skin as well.
Next, place the chicken in a roasting pan and surround it with the chopped root vegetables. Drizzle a little bit of olive oil over the vegetables and season them with salt and pepper.
Roast the chicken and vegetables in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Be sure to baste the chicken with the pan juices every 20 minutes or so to keep it moist and flavorful.
Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before carving. Serve the chicken and vegetables on a platter, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
