The chicken is marinated in a mixture of spices and olive oil, then stuffed with fresh herbs, providing a rich and aromatic flavor. Perfect for a quick family dinner or to impress guests! Ingredients: - 1 whole chicken (approximately 1.5 kg) - 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil - 1 teaspoon of salt - 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper - 1 teaspoon of paprika (optional, for a smoky flavor) - 1 teaspoon of garlic powder - 1 teaspoon of onion powder - 1 bunch of fresh rosemary - 1 bunch of fresh thyme - 1 bunch of fresh parsley - 1 lemon (cut into wedges) Step-by-step instructions: 1. Preparing the chicken: Start by washing the chicken under cold running water and drying it with a paper towel. This step is essential for getting a crispy skin. 2. Spice mixture: In a bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons of olive oil with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to create a smooth paste. 3. Brushing the chicken: Using a kitchen brush, apply the spice mixture all over the chicken, making sure to get under the skin to infuse the meat with flavor. 4. Stuffing the chicken: Take the bunches of fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, parsley) and stuff the chicken with them. Also, add the lemon wedges inside the chicken for a fresh and citrusy flavor. 5. Baking: Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the chicken in a baking dish, breast side up. Bake the chicken for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 75°C. You can check the temperature with a meat thermometer, ensuring it is perfectly cooked. 6. Serving: Once the chicken is done, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This step allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat juicy. Serve it with a side of grilled vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal. Practical tips: - You can experiment with different herbs, such as oregano or basil, to adapt the recipe to your preferences. - If you want a crispier chicken, you can leave the skin exposed in the refrigerator for a few hours before cooking to dry it out. - Stay creative with sides! A fresh salad or vegetable rice are excellent options. This oven-baked chicken recipe with herbs is not only simple but also elegant, perfect for any occasion. Try it and add a splash of color and flavor to your meals!
