Follow these step-by-step instructions to create a succulent Garlic Lemon Roasted Chicken:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for roasting.
2. Prepare the Chicken: Rinse the chicken thoroughly under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Remove any giblets from the cavity.
3. Season the Chicken: Generously season the inside and outside of the chicken with salt and black pepper. Place the chicken in a large roasting pan.
4. Stuff the Cavity: Cut one lemon into quarters and place it inside the chicken cavity along with a few garlic cloves, rosemary, and thyme sprigs.
5. Prepare the Garlic-Lemon Mixture: In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, melted butter, juice of one lemon, and remaining garlic cloves (minced). Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken, ensuring it is well-coated.
6. Add Vegetables: Arrange the chopped carrots, onion quarters, and halved potatoes around the chicken in the roasting pan. Pour the chicken broth over the vegetables.
7. Roast the Chicken: Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven. Roast for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden brown. Baste the chicken occasionally with the pan juices to keep it moist.
8. Rest and Carve: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring tender, juicy meat.
