Mastering a simple roast chicken can turn an ordinary meal into a memorable experience for family and friends. With basic ingredients like a whole chicken, olive oil or butter, garlic, herbs, lemon, and optional vegetables, this recipe is both affordable and versatile.

The chicken is prepared by seasoning it with a mix of oil, salt, pepper, garlic, rosemary, and thyme, then stuffing the cavity with lemon and herbs. It is placed breast-side up on a roasting tray, optionally surrounded by vegetables, and roasted in a preheated 200 °C oven, basting halfway to keep it moist.

Once cooked through and rested for 10–15 minutes, the chicken is carved and served with sides of choice. Roasting ensures even cooking, crispy skin, and rich flavour, making this dish suitable for everyday dinners or special occasions.
