This is such an amazing recipe!!! Went on to find a good roast chicken recipe and of course this one popped up. I love Ina and I love making all her stuff so I was happy to see her attach to this recipe. I used everything in the recipe except the fennel and the thyme (my family aren't big on ingredients like that. The grocery store didn't have a yellow onion, which was strange, so i just bought a red onion which i thought we delicious anyway. Let's just say in the past week, I've made this twice... it's THAT GOOD. YOU HAVE TO MAKE THIS!

This chicken was delicious! First time I ever roasted a chicken, and it turned out perfectly! I poured a little olive oil in the cavity of the chicken, and some extra over the top. Browned perfectly and moist throughout.

AMAZING! I've made this three times already in less than 2 months (once for a dinner party. I'm not much of a cook, but this was very easy to make. The veggies were absolutely delicious. I realize now that I forgot to pour olive oil and thyme over them, but they were still super flavorful. And I had never had fennel before this, but I loved it! And I usually don't like carrots, but these were so yummy...almost as good as the very juicy chicken! I'm definitely recommending this to everyone I know!

This was the most delicious roasted chicken I've ever eaten! Crispy outside, moist inside, a hint of the lemon and garlic. I used fresh rosemary instead of thyme, because it grows outside my door. Couldn't have been easier to prepare, but is definitely company worthy! Thanks, Ina

This was so delicious. I cook a lot but for some reason I've been scared to try a whole roast chicken. The only thing was I pulled it out too early...I figured because it was a 4lb. chicken that I would have to roast it for a shorter time. But misguessed and had to put it back in the oven after cutting into it. It still came out perfectly juicy. Also I used different root vegetable on the bottom with red beet, parsnips, potatoes, onion, and carrots. And used a tablespoon of EVOO and a tablespoon of melted butter for the chicken with salt, pepper and poultry seasoning. So yummy!!!!

This is easy and tastes fantastic. I actually made slits in the skin of the chicken and inserted many of the garlic cloves into these before baking.
