Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken (about 4-5 pounds)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh sage, chopped
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup chicken broth (low-sodium)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Rinse the whole chicken inside and out, and pat it dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, thyme, and sage, and olive oil.
- Rub the herb and garlic mixture all over the outside of the chicken. Season it generously with salt and black pepper.
- Place the seasoned chicken in a roasting pan.
- Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the roasting pan.
- Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for about 75-90 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden brown and crispy.
- If the skin starts to brown too quickly, you can tent it with aluminum foil.
- Remove the Herb-Roasted Chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
- Carve the chicken and serve it hot, with the herb-infused pan juices.
This Herb-Roasted Chicken is a flavorful and healthy option for a hearty family dinner. Enjoy the aromatic blend of fresh herbs and the succulent chicken!
