Ingredients: 1 entire (about 4-5 pound) chicken
Quarter one big lemon and cut the garlic bulb in half crosswise.
Four fresh rosemary sprigs
Four fresh thyme sprigs
Four teaspoons of melted unsalted butter
Two tsp olive oil
One tsp of paprika
One tsp powdered onion
One tsp salt
One-half teaspoon of black pepper
Half a teaspoon of dried oregano
One-half teaspoon of dried basil
One cup of white wine or chicken broth
Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Guidelines:
Warm up the oven:
Set the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C). The oven rack has to be placed in the middle.

Get the chicken ready:

After taking the giblets out of the chicken's cavity, use paper towels to pat the bird dry. To guarantee a crispy skin, dry-brush the chicken.
Put the chicken inside a roasting pan on a roasting rack. If you don't have a rack, you may just put it in the pan, but to guarantee even roasting, turn the chicken halfway through cooking.
Put some seasoning to the chicken.

Melted butter, olive oil, paprika, onion powder, salt, pepper, dried oregano, and dried basil should all be combined in a small bowl. This combination will produce a crust that is golden-brown and tasty.
Gently remove the chicken's skin by
putting your fingers underneath it. Be cautious not to rip the skin.
Apply approximately two-thirds of the butter mixture under the skin, directly on the bird's flesh, and then coat the entire chicken with the remaining mixture.
Fill the Chicken:

Place the quartered lemon, half garlic bulb, and fresh sprigs of thyme and rosemary within the cavity of the chicken. This will impart flavorful aromas to the chicken while it cooks.
Tie the legs of the bird together with kitchen thread to form a truss. This holds the filling in place and aids in the chicken's even cooking.
Cook the chicken:

Fill the roasting pan's bottom with the chicken broth (or white wine). This will give the chicken more moisture and provide a tasty foundation for the pan juices.
After the oven is ready, place the roasting pan inside and roast the chicken for approximately one hour and fifteen minutes to one hour and thirty minutes, or until the thickest portion of the thigh reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Aluminum foil should be used to lightly cover the chicken if the skin begins to brown too soon.
Give the chicken a rest:

After taking the chicken out of the oven, place it on a chopping board. Before slicing, give it ten to fifteen minutes to rest. This makes the meat moist and tender by allowing the fluids to redistribute throughout it.
Serve:

Once the chicken is carved, serve it with the garlic and roasted lemon.To add a splash of color and freshness, sprinkle with some freshly cut parsley.
For extra taste, you may also pour the pan juices over the chicken.
Proposed Sides:
potatoes that have been roasted
Roasted or steam-cooked veggies (such Brussels sprouts, carrots, and green beans)
A refreshingly light salad
Crusty bread or buns with garlic butter
Savor the juicy, delicious flesh and crispy skin of this expertly roasted chicken. There's no doubt that this supper will be remembered!
