Ingredients
  

1 whole chicken (about 4-5 lbs)

1 pound baby potatoes, halved

1 lemon, quartered

6 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed

1/4 cup olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried)

2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried)

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the Chicken: Rinse the chicken under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Season the cavity generously with salt and pepper. Stuff the cavity with the lemon quarters and half of the smashed garlic cloves.

      Make the Herb Mixture: In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, rosemary, thyme, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

        Season the Chicken: Brush the herb mixture all over the chicken, making sure to get under the skin for maximum flavor.

          Prepare the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with the remaining smashed garlic cloves, salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil until well-coated.

            Arrange in the Baking Dish: Place the seasoned chicken in the center of a large roasting pan or baking dish. Scatter the seasoned baby potatoes around the chicken.

              Roast the Chicken: Roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear. Baste the chicken and potatoes with the pan juices halfway through cooking to keep them moist.

                Let Rest: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute for a juicier roast.

                  Garnish and Serve: Carve the chicken and serve with the roasted baby potatoes, garnished with fresh parsley.
