HERB-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH ROOT VEGETABLES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the chicken on a rimmed baking pan.
- In a small bowl, stir to combine the olive oil, chopped rosemary, thyme, sage, red pepper flakes, grated garlic, lemon zest, 1 tablespoon salt and 2 teaspoons black pepper. Rub the chicken all over with half of the herb oil, being sure to spread some under the skin of the breasts and thighs to season the flesh. Stuff the cavity with the rosemary, thyme and sage sprigs, the bay leaves, 1/2 lemon and garlic head halves.
- Place the rutabaga, carrots and turnips in a large bowl. Toss to coat with the remaining herb oil. Scatter the vegetables around the chicken and transfer to the oven. Roast until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through, with an instant-read thermometer inserted at the thickest point of the thigh reading 160 degrees F, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before carving. Serve with the vegetables.

Tips for Roasting Chicken Pieces with Herbs:
- Choose the right herbs: Different herbs can impart different flavors to your chicken. Some popular choices include rosemary, thyme, sage, oregano, and garlic. You can also use a pre-made herb blend, such as Italian seasoning or poultry seasoning.
- Pat the chicken dry: This will help the herbs and spices adhere to the chicken and prevent them from burning.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will not cook evenly. Make sure there is enough space between the chicken pieces so that they can all get crispy skin.
- Roast the chicken at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy skin and juicy interior.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
