In a small bowl, combine the garlic, thyme, sage, parsley and olive oil. Rub the
olive oil and herb blend into the cavity of the chicken as well as all over the
exterior. Place the parsley stems into the cavity of the chicken, and squeeze each
lemon quarter into the chicken and place the rind in as well. Put the bay leaves
inside the chicken and place the bird in a roasting pan or a saute pan, and put it
into the oven. Roast for about 1 hour, or until the chicken is golden brown, and
the juices run clear. Remove from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes before
carving.
For the vegetables: Place the vegetables in a large mixing bowl, and season with
the salt and pepper. Drizzle with the olive oil and place in a roasting pan or on
a sheet pan. Place in the oven and roast for 30 minutes, turning once midway
during cooking to ensure even browning. Serve with the herb roasted
chicken.
