- 1 head of garlic cut in half parallel to the base, divided
- 4 sprigs rosemary divided
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt

For the Roast Chicken:
- 5 1/2 lb whole chicken giblets removed, patted dry
- 2 1/2 tsp salt divided (1/2 tsp for inside, 2 tsp for outside)
- 3/4 tsp pepper divided (1/4 for inside, 1/2 for outside)
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 1 lemon halved

- Place chopped potatoes, carrots, onion, half of a head of garlic, and 2 sprigs of rosemary in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with 1 Tbsp olive oil and season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
- Place chicken in a roasting pan. Remove giblets from chicken and pat dry inside and outside with paper towels. Season inside the chicken with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Stuff the chicken with 1/2 of the garlic head, 2 lemon halves, and 2 sprigs of rosemary.
- Melt 2 Tbsp of butter. Brush the chicken all over the top and sides with melted butter then season all over with 2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
- Tie the legs together and tuck the wings under the bird. Spread veggies around the chicken. Roast in the oven uncovered at 425˚F for 80 to 90 minutes (depending on size of chicken*) until internal temperature of the thigh reaches 165˚F or until the juices run clear when you cut into the thigh.
- Transfer chicken and veggies to a platter, tent with foil, and let rest at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
