Ingredients Needed
- 1 whole chicken (about 4 pounds)
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 cup Chardonnay wine
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: lemon slices for garnish
Preparation Steps
Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped herbs, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful herb paste.
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Rub the herb mixture all over the chicken, making sure to coat it evenly, including under the skin if possible.
Place the chicken in a roasting pan. Pour the Chardonnay wine into the pan to keep the chicken moist and add flavor during roasting.
Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Baste the chicken occasionally with the pan juices for extra crispiness and flavor.
Serving Tips
Once cooked, let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving. Serve with the pan juices drizzled over the slices and garnish with lemon slices if desired. Pair it with a glass of chilled Chardonnay for a perfect meal.
