This Perfect Roast Chicken recipe has 8 ingredients and is a breeze to make. All you need is a whole chicken, garlic, onion, thyme, lemon, salt, pepper, and olive oil.
I often make this easy chicken recipe on Mondays because it’s so simple. I assemble all of the ingredients in the late morning or early afternoon, and then throw it in the oven to bake before dinner. Every time I make this healthy chicken recipe I save the carcass and make a big batch of my homemade Chicken Bone Broth recipe in a crockpot. I keep some of the bone broth in the refrigerator, and the rest in the freezer. I love using the bone broth for snacks and in other dinner recipes throughout the week.
My version of Perfect Roast Chicken is based upon one from Ina Garten. While Ina’s recipe for Perfect Roast Chicken calls for wheat flour, chicken stock, and butter, mine is a tad simpler and gluten-free as well. My boys adore this roasted chicken recipe and I think you will too!

WHen you roast the chicken, do you cover it? Is it breast side up? The reason I ask is because I can never get it crispy!
Stephanie, thanks for your comment! I roast the chicken breast side up and because the temperature in this recipe is so high the skin gets crispy!
Hi… do you bake it covered or uncovered?
Shirin, bake uncovered.
