Ingredients

• 1 3-4 lbs Whole chicken
• 4 medium Carrots
• 6 medium Red potatoes
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 4 whole Garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 whole Lemon
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
• 3 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Rinse the whole chicken inside and out, then pat it dry with paper towels. Set it aside.

Step 3

Peel the carrots and cut them into 2-inch chunks. Dice the red potatoes into quarters. Roughly chop the yellow onion.

Step 4

Arrange the carrots, potatoes, and onions in a large roasting pan. Add the whole garlic cloves (no need to peel them) to the pan.

Step 5

Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the vegetables and season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 6

Place the whole chicken on top of the vegetables, breast-side up.

Step 7

Cut the lemon in half and place one half inside the chicken cavity along with the rosemary and thyme sprigs.

Step 8

Rub the chicken all over with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle the paprika, remaining 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper evenly over the chicken.

Step 9

Tie the legs together with kitchen twine and tuck the wings under the body to ensure even cooking.

Step 10

Roast the chicken and vegetables in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) when measured at the thickest part of the thigh.

Step 11

Baste the chicken with the pan juices every 30 minutes for extra flavor and moisture.

Step 12

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

Step 13

Serve the roasted chicken with the vegetables and drizzle with any remaining pan juices.
