Paleo Lemon Garlic Herb Roasted Chicken

Ingredients

• 4 lbs Whole Chicken
• 2 whole Lemons
• 8 cloves Garlic Cloves
• 3 sprigs Fresh Rosemary
• 4 sprigs Fresh Thyme
• 0.25 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 2 large Sweet Potatoes
• 4 large Carrots
• 1 medium Red Onion
• 1 tablespoon Sea Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a large roasting pan.

2. 2

   Pat the chicken dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy skin, then season the cavity with salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Chop the sweet potatoes, carrots, and onion into 1-inch chunks and toss them in the bottom of the roasting pan with a drizzle of oil.

4. 4

   Mince four garlic cloves and mix with olive oil, chopped rosemary, and thyme to create a herb rub.

5. 5

   Loosen the skin over the chicken breast and rub half of the herb oil underneath, then rub the remaining oil over the exterior.

6. 6

   Stuff the chicken cavity with the remaining garlic cloves and one lemon cut into quarters.

7. 7

   Place the chicken on top of the vegetables and roast for 60 to 75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

8. 8

   Let the chicken rest for 15 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute.
