Savory Lemon Herb Roasted Chicken

Preparing the Chicken Marinade In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

Marinating the Chicken Place the whole chicken in a large resealable plastic bag or a deep dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for maximum flavor absorption.

Roasting the Chicken Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it in a roasting pan. Arrange lemon slices around the chicken. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and season the top with additional salt and pepper.

4.Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for about 60-75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy and golden brown.

Resting and Serving Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving. Garnish with fresh herbs and lemon slices. Serve hot and enjoy!
