Tonight, savor the comfort of home-cooked meals with this herb-roasted chicken that's bursting with flavor.

1

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). This helps the chicken get crispy.

2

In a bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of rosemary, 2 tablespoons of thyme, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper to create a marinade.

3

Mince the 6 cloves of garlic and add them to the marinade. Squeeze the juice from 1 lemon into the mixture, stirring it well.

4

Place the 4-pound chicken in a roasting pan. Gently loosen the skin of the chicken over the breasts and thighs and rub the marinade under the skin. Make sure to coat it well for maximum flavor.

5

Optionally, you can place some lemon slices inside the cavity of the chicken for extra fragrance.

6

Tuck the wings under the body of the chicken and tie the legs together with kitchen twine for even cooking.

7

Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius) and the juices run clear.

8

Let the chicken rest for about 10 minutes before carving. This helps retain the juices.

9

Serve the chicken hot with your choice of sides.
