Herb-Roasted Chicken

Healthy Fact of the Day

Herb-roasted chicken is a delightful and healthy choice, offering lean protein and robust flavors.

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

 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Rinse the whole chicken inside and out, and pat it dry with paper towels.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, thyme, and sage, and olive oil.
  4. Rub the herb and garlic mixture all over the outside of the chicken. Season it generously with salt and black pepper.
  5. Place the seasoned chicken in a roasting pan.
  6. Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the roasting pan.
  7. 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.
  8. If the skin starts to brown too quickly, you can tent it with aluminum foil.
  9. Remove the Herb-Roasted Chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
  10. Carve the chicken and serve it hot, with the herb-infused pan juices.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

Baby potatoes are naturally rich in potassium, vitamin C, and fiber, and the boil-then-roast method uses significantly less oil than deep frying while still achieving a genuinely crispy exterior.

The Summer Drink: What You Put in the Glass Matters as Much as What’s on the Plate

Research on beverage consumption and dietary health consistently finds that the single most impactful change available to most people seeking to improve their dietary quality through beverage choices is replacing sweetened commercial beverages — soda, sweetened iced tea, fruit drinks — with unsweetened or minimally sweetened alternatives. The average American consumes approximately one hundred fifty calories per day from sweetened beverages — calories that provide no nutritional benefit and that research associates with increased risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and obesity independent of total calorie intake. The summer drinks described in this article — infused water, cold brew tea, homemade lemonade with controlled sweetness, shrubs, agua frescas — provide the sensory satisfaction and the cooling pleasure of summer drinking with a fraction of the added sugar and none of the artificial ingredients of their commercial alternatives.
