Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Start by cleaning and thoroughly patting dry your whole chicken (3-4 lbs) using paper towels. Set the chicken aside at room temperature while you prepare the marinade.
- In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic cloves (4-5), fresh herbs, juice of three lemons, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
- Generously apply the herb-lemon marinade both inside and outside the chicken. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate it for a few hours.
- While the chicken marinates, chop your onion, carrots, and potatoes into even pieces. Arrange them in a large roasting pan.
- Once marinated, position the chicken on top of the arranged vegetables in the roasting pan.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the roasting pan in the oven and bake for approximately 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Once the chicken is beautifully browned, carefully remove it from the oven. Allow it to rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
- After resting, carve the chicken into portions and serve it alongside the vibrant roasted vegetables.

Notes
For best results, baste the chicken periodically with pan juices and feel free to customize with seasonal vegetables.
