Ingredients

Ingredients for Roasted Chicken

  • 1 whole Chicken 3-4 pound fryer chicken
  • 1 large Lemon cut in half
  • ¼ cup Butter room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 Tablespoons Garlic minced
  • 6 Tablespoons Butter room temperature
  • 2 teaspoon Thyme fresh, or ½ teaspoon dried
  • 2 teaspoon Rosemary fresh, or ½ teaspoon dried
  • ½ tsp Sage or 1 teaspoon fresh
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder

Ingredients for Roasted Vegetables

  • 5-6 medium Potatoes gold Yukon, sweet potatoes, red potatoes, or russet, cut into 2" pieces
  • 2-3 large Carrots cut into 2" pieces
  • 1 medium Onion cut into 2" pieces
  • 1 Tablespoon Avocado oil or your favorite cooking oil
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Salt or ½ teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon minced garlic

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Remove the giblets from the chicken then pat the chicken dry with a paper towel. Stick a half lemon in the cavity of the chicken. Tie the legs together with a piece of string and tuck the wings underneath. Season with salt and pepper over the entire chicken.
  • In a small mixing bowl, add the room temperature butter, salt, garlic, thyme, rosemary, sage, and onion powder. Use a fork and mash all the ingredients together until smooth.
  • Place chicken into a glass baking dish, dutch oven, or cast-iron skillet and smear the garlic herb butter over the entire bird.
  • Place cut potatoes, onions, and carrots into a large bowl and add the avocado oil and garlic salt. Toss, then add the veggies around the chicken.
  • Bake in a preheated oven for about 45-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F in the thickest spot. If the skin on the chicken begins to brown before it is done, cover loosely with aluminum foil and continue to bake.
  • Remove the chicken and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
