Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a roasting pan with parchment paper or a wire rack.
-
Rinse the whole chicken under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
-
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a fragrant herb paste.
-
Carefully loosen the skin of the chicken by gently sliding your fingers between the meat and the skin, being careful not to tear the skin.
-
Rub half of the herb paste mixture under the skin of the chicken, making sure to spread it evenly over the breast and thigh meat.
-
Place the lemon slices, fresh rosemary, and thyme sprigs inside the cavity of the chicken.
-
Tie the chicken legs together with kitchen twine for even cooking.
-
Rub the remaining herb paste all over the outside of the chicken, ensuring it is well-coated with the flavorful mixture.
-
Transfer the seasoned chicken to the prepared roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden brown and crispy.
-
Baste the chicken with its juices halfway through cooking to ensure it stays moist and tender.
-
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
-
Serve the Brathähnchen Toskana with your favorite roasted vegetables or a side of creamy polenta for a complete Tuscan-inspired meal.
