Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Temperature: 200°C
Servings: 4–6
Ingredients:
-
1 lemon, halved
-
1 garlic clove, smashed
-
1 teaspoon kosher salt
-
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
-
2 teaspoons herbs de Provence (or other dried herbs like rosemary and thyme)
-
1 whole chicken (about 1.8 kg)
-
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
Directions:
-
Line the Plum Chef Baking Pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
-
Rub the chicken with salt — half inside the cavity, half over the surface. Place the lemon halves and garlic inside the cavity.
-
Drizzle olive oil on top of the chicken and season with herbs and pepper.
-
Put the baking pan into the rack Position 3, and set the oven to Roast Mode at 200°C.
-
Cook for 40 minutes, or until the skin turns golden and crispy and the inside is fully cooked.
Pro Tip:
Baste the chicken halfway through roasting for an extra crispy finish. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
