Steps:
- Pat the chicken dry; generously season the skin and inside the cavity with salt and pepper. Refrigerate, uncovered, at least 4 hours or overnight to dry out the skin. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before roasting.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Mash the butter with the chopped thyme and chopped rosemary in a small bowl. Gently slide your fingers under the chicken skin on the breasts and legs to loosen it. Scoop some of the herbed butter with a spoon; slide the spoon under the skin and hold the skin in place while you remove the spoon. Smooth the skin to distribute the butter. Repeat with the remaining butter.
- Squeeze a lemon half into the cavity of each chicken, then stuff the lemon half inside. Stuff 1/2 onion, 3 garlic cloves, 1 thyme sprig and 1/2 rosemary sprig into each chicken cavity. Tie the legs together with twine. Set a rack in a large roasting pan; put the chicken on the rack and roast 25 minutes. Toss the scallions, tomatoes, olive oil and a large pinch of salt in a bowl, then add to the roasting pan. Remove the twine from the chicken and continue roasting until the skin is golden brown and a thermometer inserted into the thigh registers 170 degrees F, about 50 more minutes.
- Transfer the chicken and vegetables to platters and let rest about 10 minutes before carving.
PASTOR RYAN'S HERB-ROASTED WHOLE CHICKEN
This recipe is from the Pioneer Woman's blog (courtesy of her friend, Pastor Ryan). You can roast more than one chicken in the oven at a time (if you have room) and freeze extra cooked chicken, making it a very economical endeavor. *Notes*: You can use dried herbs in place of the fresh, just be sure to use leaves (not ground spices), and use 1/3 of the amount that is called for. Also, the ingredients/instructions are what is required for EACH INDIVIDUAL chicken that is prepared. The chicken might be nice served with a vegetable and Italian bread, or atop Recipe #11808. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees while you pick the herbs from their stems. Chop the herbs and add them, along with the salt and pepper, to the canola oil; stir.
- Before applying the herb mixture to the outside of the chicken, take out the bag of giblets and discard them (if there is one), and fill the cavity of the bird with the aromatics. You won't be eating these items, so you can just give them a rough chop / slice / mash.
- Stuff the aromatics into the nether regions of the chicken. No need to tie the bird, but if the legs are sticking out far (which can cause them to overly-brown), you can put a slice in the skin, and stick the leg into that.
- It's important that your whole chicken be patted dry with a clean cloth or paper towel. This will help to ensure a nice crust on your chicken once it's finished.
- Rub the chicken down with your canola-herb-salt-pepper mix.
- Slide your herb-coated chicken(s) into that 450 degree oven for an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes until they are golden brown and have developed a delicious crust.
- The chicken is done when juices between the breast and leg run clear, and an instant-read thermometer inserted deep into the thigh reads 155 degrees F (I found 1 hour and 5 minutes at 450 degrees F worked perfectly for me in my conventional oven).
- Once the chickens have roasted, take them out and let them rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
- Serve over pasta, or with any sides.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: For the best results, use a whole chicken that is between 3 and 4 pounds. This size chicken will cook evenly and will not be too dry.
- Prepare the chicken: Before roasting the chicken, be sure to remove the giblets and pat the chicken dry. This will help the chicken cook more evenly and will also prevent the skin from becoming soggy.
- Season the chicken: Use a generous amount of seasoning on the chicken. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken and make it more flavorful. Some good seasoning options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt and pepper.
- Roast the chicken: Roast the chicken in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Be sure to baste the chicken with the pan juices every 20 minutes or so to keep it moist.
- Let the chicken rest: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken and make it more tender.
Conclusion:
This Trini-style herb roasted whole chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is roasted with a variety of herbs and spices, which gives it a flavorful and aromatic taste.
