Ingredients

1 whole chicken, approximately 1.8 kg
750 g baby potatoes, halved
4 garlic cloves, lightly crushed
3 tbsp Full Fruit Lemon Press EVOO, plus extra to finish
1 lemon, halved
4 sprigs fresh thyme
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 tsp sea salt
Freshly cracked black pepper

Method

1. Prepare the chicken

Preheat oven to 200°C. Pat the chicken dry and place in a large roasting dish.

2. Season

Rub the chicken generously with 2 tbsp Lemon Press EVOO, sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Place the lemon halves, thyme and rosemary around and inside the chicken.

3. Add the potatoes

Arrange the potatoes and garlic around the chicken. Drizzle with the remaining Lemon Press EVOO and toss lightly to coat.

4. Roast

Roast for approximately 1 hour 20–30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden and cooked through and the potatoes are tender. Check doneness with a thermometer: the thickest part should reach 75°C.

5. Rest & finish

Rest the chicken for 10–15 minutes before carving. Finish the chicken and potatoes with an extra drizzle of Lemon Press EVOO and fresh herbs before serving.
