Steps:
- Place the chicken in the same dish you'll be using to roast it (I use a large 13 x 9 inch casserole dish). Sprinkle the whole surface (top, bottom, sides, etc) with sea salt and place the dish in the refrigerator, leaving the chicken open to air for at least 1 hour, ideally overnight and up to 24 hours.
- When you're ready to roast the chicken, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Cut a large lemon into 4 chunks and place it inside of the body cavity.
- Mix together the avocado oil, paprika, and garlic powder in a small bowl until well-combined, creating a "slurry."
- Cover the whole chicken (top, bottom, sides, etc) in the slurry, using your hands to spread it evenly over the whole chicken.
- Leave the chicken at room temperature while the oven preheats, or better yet, perform this process 1 hour before you roast the chicken to allow it to come to room temperature.
- Roast the chicken for a total of 1 hour and 20 minutes to 1 hour and 40 minutes (adding the vegetables about 2/3 of the way through), or until the juices run clear when poked, and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
- Note: Check on the chicken periodically (but avoid opening the oven too frequently!) to make sure the skin isn't burning. If it begins to burn at any point, cover the chicken with foil for the rest of the cooking process.
- While the chicken is roasting, chop the vegetables and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Drizzle the vegetables with avocado oil and sprinkle with sea salt and oregano. Use your hands to toss everything together until the vegetables are well coated with oil and seasoning. Allow the vegetables to sit and "marinate" until you're ready to roast them.
- About 30 minutes before the chicken is finished roasting (so about 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes into the roasting process), remove the casserole dish from the oven and baste it by using a spoon to pour its fat and juices all over it. Transfer the prepared vegetables to the casserole dish, around the chicken.
- Place the casserole dish back in the oven and continue roasting another 30 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables have reached your desired doneness.

Steps:
- Arrange an oven rack in the center of the oven, then preheat to 425˚F (220˚C).
- Toss the onion, carrots, and kale in a 12-inch (30 cm) cast iron skillet with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated. Pour the white wine over the vegetables.
- Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper, then brush with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Stuff the rosemary, thyme, and lemon inside the cavity, tie the legs closed with kitchen twine, and tuck the wings underneath the bird. Place the chicken, breast-side up, on top of the vegetables in the skillet.
- Roast the chicken for 1 hour, rotating the pan halfway through cooking. The chicken is done when it is golden brown, the skin is crispy, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thigh registers 165˚F (70˚C). Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 15 minutes.
- Carve the chicken, then plate alongside the vegetables. Pour the pan drippings over the top and serve immediately.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large, ovenproof skillet or frying pan, mix together the carrots, squash, and broccoli, and coat with the oil. Spread the veggies into 1 even layer.
- Place the chicken on top of the veggies.
- Season the bird on all sides and in the cavity with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme leaves. While seasoning the bird, make sure that enough seasoning has fallen onto the veggies below to give them good flavor.
- To truss the chicken, fold the wingtips underneath the breasts so that they fit snugly. Using a piece of butcher's twine, tie the legs together so the bird holds a nice shape.
- Bake for 1 hour, or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast reads 160°F (70°C).
- NOTE: Once resting out of the oven, the temperature will continue to rise to a safe 165°F (75°C).
- Let the chicken rest for at least 15 minutes once out of the oven, so that all of the juices in the meat can settle and the internal temperature has time to finish rising.
- Carve the bird as desired.
- Serve on a plate with the veggies, and fresh thyme sprigs for garnish.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400°F. Place chicken, breast side down, on cutting board. Using heavy-duty kitchen scissors or poultry shears, cut closely along one side of backbone from thigh end to neck. Repeat on other side. Remove backbone, and discard. Turn chicken over so breast side is up; press down to flatten breast area by pressing firmly with heel of hand. Rub chicken with 1 tablespoon of the oil.
- Heat 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot; place chicken breast side down. Season side facing up with 1 tablespoon chicken seasoning; top with 10-inch heavy skillet to weigh down. Cook 5 to 7 minutes or until skin is golden brown. Remove smaller skillet, and transfer chicken to plate.
- In medium bowl, toss potatoes, onion, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, the thyme, salt and pepper until mixed well. Arrange vegetable mixture in single layer in the 12-inch cast-iron skillet. Place chicken, breast side up, on vegetables, and sprinkle top with remaining 1 tablespoon chicken seasoning.
- Roast uncovered 45 to 55 minutes or until juice of chicken is clear when thickest pieces are cut to bone (at least 165°F), and vegetables are tender and lightly browned. Garnish with additional thyme leaves, if desired.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Look for a whole chicken that is between 3 and 4 pounds, as this will ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Prep the chicken: Rinse the chicken inside and out and pat it dry with paper towels. This will help the skin crisp up during roasting.
- Season the chicken: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to season the chicken inside and out. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as paprika, rosemary, or thyme.
- Roast the chicken: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place the chicken breast-side up in a roasting pan. Roast the chicken for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Roast the vegetables: While the chicken is roasting, prepare the vegetables. Cut the vegetables into 1-inch pieces and toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the vegetables around the chicken in the roasting pan and roast for 30 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned.
- Let the chicken rest: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
This recipe for Whole Roasted Chicken and Veggies is a simple and delicious way to cook a whole chicken. The chicken is roasted until it is golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender and juicy on the inside. The vegetables are roasted alongside the chicken, soaking up all of the delicious flavors. This dish is perfect for a Sunday dinner or any other special occasion.
