Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: A whole chicken is ideal for this recipe, but you can also use chicken breasts or thighs. If using a whole chicken, make sure it is about 3-4 pounds.
  • Pat the chicken dry: This will help the skin crisp up in the oven.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade in this recipe is made with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and thyme. You can also use other herbs and spices, such as oregano, basil, or paprika.
  • Roast the chicken at a high temperature: This will help the skin crisp up and the meat cook through quickly.
  • Let the chicken rest before carving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This roasted garlic oven-baked chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and juicy chicken dish that is perfect for any occasion. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
