Roast Provençal Chicken

• servings: 6 items
• total time: 1 hour 15 minutes

Ingredients

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

1/4 cup herbes de Provence

1/4 cup olive oil

1 tablespoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 3 1/2-4-pound chicken

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Preheat oven to 475°. Mix garlic, herbes de Provence, oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub mixture all over inside and outside of chicken. Place on a wire rack set inside a roasting pan.

Roast chicken until skin begins to brown, 25-30 minutes. Reduce heat to 350° and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thigh registers 165°, 25-30 minutes longer. Let rest 10 minutes before carving. Serve with lemon wedges.

DO AHEAD: Chicken can be made 2 days ahead. Let cool. Cover and chill; bring to room temperature before serving.
