Savory Herb-Infused Roasted Chicken with Aromatic Spices

1.Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

2.Rinse the whole chicken under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.

3.In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and dried oregano to create a herb-infused paste.

4.Rub the herb-infused paste all over the chicken, making sure to get it under the skin and inside the cavity for maximum flavor.

5.Stuff the cavity of the chicken with the halved lemon, quartered onion, and smashed garlic cloves.

6.Place the chicken breast-side up on a roasting rack in a roasting pan.

7.Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear when pierced.

8.Baste the chicken with the pan juices halfway through cooking to keep it moist and flavorful.

9.Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.

10.Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
