Garlic Thyme Roasted Chicken

A savory, juicy roasted chicken seasoned with garlic and thyme. Perfect for a family dinner or a special occasion.

Ingredients - Serves 4

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Rinse the chicken inside and out, then pat dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, thyme leaves, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Rub the garlic-thyme mixture all over the chicken, both under the skin and on top.
Place the lemon halves and the remaining thyme inside the chicken cavity.
Place the chicken in a roasting pan and roast for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the juices run clear when you cut between a leg and thigh.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
