Savory Herb Roasted Chicken with Garlic and Lemon

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, and dried rosemary to create a herb paste.

4.Rub the herb 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 and crushed garlic cloves.

6.Place the chicken breast-side up in a roasting pan and pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the pan to keep the chicken moist during roasting.

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 at the thigh.

8.Baste the chicken with the pan juices halfway through cooking to enhance flavor and moisture.

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

10.Garnish with fresh herbs and serve with your favorite sides.
