instructions
    1

    Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). This will ensure even cooking of your chicken.

    2

    In a large bowl, mix together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of pepper, and 1 tablespoon of thyme. This will be your flavorful seasoning.

    3

    Rub the seasoning mixture all over the chicken, making sure to get under the skin for maximum flavor.

    4

    Peel and chop the potatoes, carrots, and onions into large chunks. Add them to the bowl with the remaining seasoning and toss until they are well-coated.

    5

    In a roasting pan, place the seasoned chicken in the center. Surround it with the chopped vegetables and the 4 cloves of garlic (slightly crushed, but not minced).

    6

    Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (75 degrees Celsius) and the juices run clear.

    7

    Once done, remove from the oven, and let it rest for about 10 minutes before carving. This will help keep the chicken juicy.

    8

    Serve the chicken alongside the roasted vegetables and enjoy the delightful flavors of your Poulet Roti aux Légumes.
