Instructions

1: Preheat oven to 425°F and place a cast-iron skillet inside to heat up.

2: Prepare the chicken: Pat dry and season inside with salt & pepper. Stuff with lemon, garlic, and thyme. Brush with melted butter and season with salt & pepper.

3: Prep the vegetables: Toss onions and carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Remove the skillet from the oven and spread veggies on the bottom.

4: Roast the chicken: Place the chicken breast-side up on top of the vegetables. Roast for 1 hour 15 minutes, or until the thickest part reaches 165°F. Tent with foil if the skin browns too quickly.

5: Rest & serve: Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. Serve with the roasted veggies and pan juices.
