Herb Roasted Whole Chicken

Name: Herb Roasted Whole Chicken
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 80 min
Total time: 90 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 tsp Paprika; 1 1/2 tsp Dried thyme; 1 tbsp Fresh garlic; 1 tsp Onion powder; 1 tsp Salt; 1/2 tsp Black pepper; 1 lb Whole chicken; 2 tbsp Olive oil

There is something deeply grounding about roasting a whole chicken. It’s simple. It’s ancestral. It’s the kind of meal that reminds you that nourishment doesn’t need to be complicated to be powerful. This is the kind of from-scratch staple that anchors a kitchen — one bird that becomes tonight’s dinner, tomorrow’s broth, and maybe even a simple lunch layered into sourdough. Crisp skin, fragrant herbs, real garlic, good olive oil. No packets. No shortcuts. Just honest ingredients doing what they were designed to do. This is how a home begins to feel like a kitchen again.

Notes

Remove the giblets before cooking. If using bone-in chicken pieces instead of a whole chicken, begin checking the temperature at 30 minutes and cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (thighs should reach 180°F). | Trussing promotes more even cooking and helps retain moisture, though it is optional. | Because of the high oven temperature, regular basting (about every 15 minutes) helps prevent the skin from scorching while maintaining crispness.
