Preheat oven to 425°F/220°C.

Rinse the chicken inside out and pat dry. If need be, remove any leftover pin feathers. Liberally season with salt and freshly ground black pepper the inside of the chicken. Stuff the cavity with the quartered onion, part of the thyme, and some garlic. Tie the legs together with a kitchen string.

Pour olive oil onto roasting tray. Spread around the bottom of the pan remaining garlic, shallots, radishes and olives. Place prepared chicken on top and add lemon slices and remaining thyme springs.

I made this as written, and while the chicken came out delicious, the veggies all burned to a crisp except for the ones the chicken was sitting on top of. Waaaahhh! I baked everything for an hour and 25 minutes in a darkish gray, non-stick roasting pan. Maybe the pan was the problem, as I’ve read dark colors cause food to cook faster. Or maybe it would’ve been okay if I’d thrown a foil dome over everything once the veggies were browned to my liking. Or I could’ve tried turning the heat down to 350F after the first 15 minutes, like I saw in a few, different recipes. Some of the singed veggies were still very tasty while others were just cinders. Anyway, I threw together a quick salad in lieu of the singed veggies. Success! Whole family loved it, including the dog. Will try again, maybe trying the foil dome idea next time.

Made this chicken tonight for the boyfriend. So easy and delicious! He said he had never tasted chicken so good, not even in a pricey restaurant. I love to roast veggies, and pre-Keto always had a variety ready to snack on.
Never tried radishes but now am a big fan!
This will be my go-to recipe from now on!!
Thanks for posting it!
