A full chicken roast is a classic and hearty dish that is perfect for a family dinner or a special occasion. Here is a recipe to make a full chicken roast:

Ingredients:

1 whole chicken (4-5 pounds)
4 tablespoons butter, softened
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 cups chicken broth
2 onions, cut into wedges
2 carrots, cut into chunks
2 celery stalks, cut into chunks
1 lemon, cut into wedges
Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Rinse the chicken inside and out with cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped thyme, rosemary, and parsley.

Carefully loosen the skin of the chicken by sliding your fingers between the skin and the flesh, being careful not to tear the skin.

Spread the butter mixture evenly under the skin, over the breasts and thighs. Season the chicken generously with salt and black pepper.

Stuff the cavity of the chicken with the lemon wedges.

In a roasting pan, place the onions, carrots, and celery on the bottom. Pour the chicken broth over the vegetables.

Place the chicken on top of the vegetables in the roasting pan.

Roast the chicken in the oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F when measured with a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh.

Baste the chicken with the juices from the pan every 30 minutes or so to keep it moist.

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.

Serve the full chicken roast with the roasted vegetables and the pan juices. Enjoy!
