This Roasted Chicken with Lemon and Parsley could be the perfect Sunday dinner. It’s so tender and juicy on the inside while the skin on the outside stays nice and crispy.

If you were lucky enough like me to snag the last whole chicken in the grocery store, then this recipe is for you my friends!

Grocery shopping has definitely been a lot different these days. My 2 week supply was dwindling down, so I tried getting my groceries delivered only to find out there were no delivery times available because of the high demand. Oh and pickup was not available either in case you were wondering.

So I had to venture out to the store to get another 2 weeks supply of food. Grocery shopping which used to be a joy for me has now turned into a nightmare.

I’m not going to go on and on about what is going on in the world right now because I know you are all aware of the uncertainty right now.

Before I get into this recipe I just want to say I hope you are all staying safe and healthy at home.

For me cooking at home has been my therapy through all of this. It brings me so much happiness, and honestly I hope my recipes bring just as much comfort and happiness to you while you’re cooking them. 🙂

This Roasted Chicken with Lemon and Parsley is totally a fool proof method. First make sure you pat the chicken dry before putting it in your roasting pan.

Rub the entire chicken with EVOO. You could also use butter if you prefer. Then generously season all sides of the chicken with Sea Salt and Pepper.

Next stuff the Chicken with the Lemon wedges, Garlic, and Parsley. Tie the legs together with kitchen twine to keep the stuffing in.

Put it in the oven at 425 degrees and leave it alone for 1 – 1 1/2 hours (depending on size of chicken). Don’t touch it, don’t baste it, etc. Trust me it will cook perfectly this way!

Remove from the oven and let rest 15 minutes before carving.

Oh and once you carve off all of the delicious meat make sure you save the carcass and stuffing, because next week I’m going to share with you how to make homemade Chicken Stock using your Instant Pot! You can put it in the freezer until then… stay tuned!

What to serve with Roasted Chicken

  • Roasted Garlic Cauliflower
  • Garlic Parmesan Spaghetti Squash
  • Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes
