Instructions
- Preheat oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
- Rub salt and pepper into the chicken.
- Push under the skin of each piece I piece of lemon and 2 garlic clove halves.
- Place chicken on a large pan (large enough to fit potatoes and carrots in one layer).
- Cut potato and carrots in smallish pieces 1 ½ -2 inches and put in a bowl along with sliced onion.
- Add 4 tablespoon olive oil to the vegetables, pepper, and the oregano and mix well, until all vegetables are coated well.
- Spread vegetables around the chicken.
- Brush chicken generously with olive oil on both sides, roast skin facing up.
- 9. Roast for about 45 minutes-1 hour (if you are roasting a whole chicken it will take longer about a ½ hour more).
- Check chicken, juices should be clear, although I prefer a meat thermometer, temperature at thickest part should be 165 F (74 C).
- If chicken is done, but vegetables are not, remove chicken and cover with aluminum foil, and roast until vegetables are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.
