  • 1 cup garlic cloves, peeled (about 1012 cloves)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 lemon, quartered
  • 1 onion, quartered

Instructions

Creating Oven-Roasted French Garlic Chicken can be a breeze if you adhere to these simple steps:

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Prepare Chicken: Rinse the chicken under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
  3. Season Chicken: In a small bowl, mix olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme, and parsley. Rub this mixture all over the chicken, making sure to cover it thoroughly.
  4. Prepare Garlic and Vegetables: Place peeled garlic cloves and quartered onion inside the cavity of the chicken along with lemon wedges.
  5. Arrange in a Roasting Pan: Set the chicken breast side up in a roasting pan. Scatter any remaining garlic and onion around the chicken.
  6. Roast: Place the pan in the preheated oven and roast for approximately 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Baste the chicken with its juices halfway through.
  7. Rest: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat moist.
  8. Carve and Serve: Carefully carve the chicken and serve, ensuring to include the delicious garlic cloves and aromatic vegetables.
