Ingredients

For the chicken:

  • 1 (3 1/2-pound) chicken cut in 8 serving pieces
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • Olive oil, for drizzling
  • The rind of 1/2 lemon, zested

For the parsley drizzle:

  • 1/2 bunch parsley
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degree F.

Trim off any excess skin or fat from the chicken. Cut off and discard the wing tips. Place the chicken pieces in an 11 by 13-inch baking pan, or any pan that that they fit in without crowding. Season the chicken pieces generously with salt, pepper, olive oil, the herbs, and the lemon zest. Toss through all the seasonings and then arrange the chicken piece skin side up in the pan. You can season the chicken pieces and set them up in the roaster up to a day before you cook them. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate.

Roast until the skin is nicely browned and there is no pink near the thigh bone and the juices run clear, about 35 to 40 minutes. Check both white meat and dark meat. If the white meat is done before the dark meat, take it out and set it on the serving plate until the dark meat is done.

For the parsley drizzle, wash and dry the parsley. Remove the leaves from the stems and chop the leaves finely. Combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl and use immediately to garnish the roast chicken.

    Tastes Even Better the Next Day

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I know people say that all the time, but it's really true of this recipe. The night I made it, it was COMPLETELY delicious... (the parsley lemon juice oil just takes it to a new level of tasty), but the next day, after the lemon, parsley, rosemary, and thyme had really sunk in, I was licking my fingers in ecstasy as I sucked on the bones. Perfect as is.Read more

    Great way to roast chicken

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I made this last week and it was so flavorful and moist. Everyone loved it! The parsley lemon juice oil was wonderful, but... the chicken was so good it didn't even need it. This recipe is definitely a keeper!Read more

    easy and tasty

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I use Julia Child's whole roast chicken with lemon and herbs recipe, and this is quite similar, which caught my eye. I used... bone in, skin on breasts. The aroma while roasting is fantastic. I too just squeezed the lemon juice over the top of the chicken along with the other roasting ingredients, and scattered minced parsley over the top with another squeeze of lemon. Oh, I also dotted a little bit of butter on each breast just because that's would Julia would do :)Read more

    Simple and Delicious

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    I made this dinner with chicken breasts, very easy to make, but flavorful all the same. A big hit. Prepared with things made... only in the pantry, good even with the dried parsley I substituted for the fresh parsley. I will certainly be making this again.Read more
