| Golden Brown and Flavorful Chicken |
- 1 whole chicken
- 3 Sprigs thyme
- 3 sprigs sage
- 1 lemon
- 5 carrots, roughly chopped
- 2 onions, roughly chopped
- 3 stalks celery, roughly chopped
- Olive oil to coat
Preheat oven to 450F. Place half a lemon, 1 onion cut in half in the cavity of the chicken. Place the herbs underneath skin of the breasts. Coat skin with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on a bed of celery, onion and carrots. Cook chicken to at least 160F. It needs to cook for about an hour and half or so. Let the chicken rest for twenty minutes, in order to continue cooking the chicken. The temperature will continue to raise to 165F. This will allows the juices to redistribute giving you a juicy chicken breast or thigh. Enjoy this wonderful dish and impress your guests!
