This may also be made using a larger roasting chicken however the spice mixture should be increased and the cooking time --- use fresh lemon juice only for this, and for the best flavor remember to keep basting the chicken with the pan juices frequently during cooking --- this chicken is very good!

Tips:

  • Brine the chicken: This helps to keep the chicken moist and flavorful. You can brine the chicken in a simple salt water solution or in a more flavorful brine made with herbs, spices, and aromatics.
  • Use a whole chicken: A whole chicken is more flavorful and juicy than a chicken breast or thigh. If you're using a large chicken, you may need to cook it for a longer period of time.
  • Roast the chicken at a high temperature: This helps to create a crispy skin and juicy meat. Roast the chicken at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes per pound.
  • Use a roasting pan: A roasting pan helps to collect the juices from the chicken, which can be used to make a delicious gravy.
  • Add vegetables to the roasting pan: Vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and onions can be roasted along with the chicken. This is a great way to get a complete meal in one pot.
  • Let the chicken rest before carving: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more flavorful and tender bird.

Conclusion:

Herb roasted whole chicken is a classic dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a delicious and memorable meal that everyone will love.
