Golden, fragrant, and deeply comforting, this Lemon Herb Roasted Chicken with Vegetables is a wholesome one-pan wonder perfect for cooler evenings or a Sunday gathering. The chicken is rubbed with fresh rosemary, thyme, garlic, and olive oil, then roasted alongside tender baby potatoes, sweet carrots, and red onion until everything is perfectly caramelised. A few wedges of lemon tucked inside the bird infuse it with brightness, cutting through the richness and lifting every bite. Simple to prepare, yet full of flavour – it’s the kind of meal that fills the house with warmth and invites everyone to the table.

Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
Rub the chicken with olive oil, garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stuff the cavity with lemon wedges.
Place chicken in a roasting pan, surrounded by potatoes, carrots, and onion. Drizzle vegetables with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Roast for 1 hour 30 minutes, basting occasionally, until golden and juices run clear.
Let rest for 10 minutes before carving. Serve with roasted vegetables.
