Roast Chicken [0001130]

Ingredients:

1 whole chicken (about 4-5 pounds)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons gluten-free dried herbs (such as rosemary, thyme, or oregano)
2 teaspoons gluten-free garlic powder
1 lemon, halved
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 cloves garlic, peeled
1 onion, quartered
Fresh rosemary sprigs (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Rinse the chicken inside and out with cold water, then pat it dry with paper towels.

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, gluten-free dried herbs, and gluten-free garlic powder.

Rub the chicken all over, both inside and out, with the olive oil and herb mixture. Be sure to coat it evenly.

Season the chicken generously with salt and black pepper, inside and out.

Place the lemon halves, garlic cloves, and onion quarters inside the cavity of the chicken.

Tie the chicken legs together with kitchen twine if desired, to help it cook evenly.

Place the seasoned chicken in a roasting pan or on a baking sheet with a rack.

Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for about 60-75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when measured with a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh.

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before carving.

Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs if desired.

This gluten-free roast chicken is flavorful, tender, and perfect for a hearty and comforting meal.
