How to Make Easter Herb-Roasted Lemon Chicken
- Clean and pat dry the whole chicken thoroughly, ensuring no moisture remains.
- In a bowl, combine the freshly squeezed juice of 2 lemons, chopped herbs, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Generously apply the marinade both underneath and on top of the skin. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Chop the onion, carrots, and potatoes into even pieces. Lightly season them with salt and pepper.
- Place the marinated chicken in a roasting pan and surround it with the prepared vegetables.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roast the chicken for approximately 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Halfway through roasting, baste the chicken with its pan juices to lock in moisture.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
- Slice the succulent chicken and serve it with the roasted vegetables.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh herbs.
