Directions

1 Heat oven to 375°F. Mix oil, thyme, marjoram, salt and pepper. Grate 1 teaspoon peel from lemon; add peel to oil mixture. Cut lemon into fourths; place in cavity of chicken.
2 Fold wings of chicken across back with tips touching. Tie or skewer drumsticks to tail. Place chicken, breast side up, on rack in shallow roasting pan. Brush oil mixture on chicken. Insert meat thermometer in chicken so tip is in thickest part of inside thigh muscle and does not touch bone.
3 Roast uncovered 45 minutes. Arrange potatoes, carrots and green beans around chicken; brush chicken and vegetables with oil mixture. Roast uncovered 30 to 45 minutes or until thermometer reads 180°F and juice of chicken is no longer pink when center of thigh is cut. Let stand about 15 minutes for easiest carving. Remove lemon and discard.
4 Place chicken on platter; arrange vegetables around chicken. Serve with pan drippings.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

If you don't have a roasting pan, you can use a broiler pan or a 13x9-inch rectangular pan.

For easy cleanup, line the roasting pan with aluminum foil before placing the chicken on the rack in the pan.

I liked this roasted chicken. I have learned that I don't like marjoram, however, so I kind a sort of hybrid between this recipe and this one: http://www.funnytummycafe.com/2013/02/10/rustic-roasted-chicken-and-root-vegetables/ It turned out great! Love flexible chicken recipes.

For those of you that found the flavor of the chicken bland, try loosening the skin of the chicken and brushing the oil mixture directly on the meat, then replacing the skin before roasting. Really infuses the herb flavors!

Because the vegatables were not on a ? grate( something to make the vegatables higher than the pan) The Vegatables were WAY to greasy for me..I cook my Chicken separate from my vegatables when I am, Roasting or baking a chicken. better for you
