🛒 Ingredients

  • 1 whole chicken (3.5–4 lbs / 1.5–2 kg), patted dry
  • 3 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary
  • 1 lemon, halved
  • 4–5 cloves garlic, smashed
  • Optional: chopped carrots, potatoes, and onions for roasting

👩‍🍳 How to Roast a Chicken

✅ Step 1: Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a rack in the center.

✅ Step 2: Prepare the Chicken

Remove giblets, if present. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels — this is key for crispy skin. Rub olive oil or butter all over the skin.

✅ Step 3: Season

Mix salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and thyme in a bowl. Sprinkle and rub the seasoning mix all over the chicken, including inside the cavity.

✅ Step 4: Add Aromatics

Stuff the cavity with lemon halves and smashed garlic cloves. Truss the legs with kitchen twine if desired.

✅ Step 5: Roast

Place chicken breast-side up in a roasting pan or oven-safe skillet. Roast for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.

✅ Step 6: Rest & Serve

Let chicken rest for 10–15 minutes before carving. Serve with pan juices, roasted vegetables, or mashed potatoes.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

  • Roasted garlic potatoes or baby carrots
  • Steamed green beans or Brussels sprouts
  • Gravy, herbed rice, or stuffing
  • A fresh green salad and crusty bread

🧊 Storage & Reheating

  • Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days
  • Freezer: Freeze chopped chicken meat for up to 2 months
  • Reheat: Warm gently in oven or skillet with a splash of broth

✅ Tips for Perfect Roast Chicken

  • Dry the skin thoroughly before seasoning — this ensures crispness
  • Let the chicken rest before slicing — keeps juices inside
  • Add chopped veggies to the pan to roast along with the chicken
  • Use a thermometer to prevent overcooking

🔍 FAQ – Chicken Roast Recipe

Q: Can I roast a chicken without a roasting rack?
Yes — just place veggies underneath the chicken to lift it slightly and allow air circulation.

Q: Should I baste the chicken?
Not necessary, but you can baste once halfway through roasting for added flavor.

Q: Can I use different herbs?
Absolutely! Try oregano, sage, parsley, or even curry spice for variation.
