# Ingredient List:
→ Poultry
01 - 1 whole chicken (about 3.3 lbs), giblets removed
→ Marinade & Flavorings
02 - 2 oranges, zested and juiced
03 - 3 tablespoons olive oil
04 - 4 garlic cloves, minced
05 - 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
06 - 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
07 - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
08 - 1 teaspoon salt
09 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
→ Vegetables
10 - 3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
11 - 2 parsnips, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
12 - 2 medium potatoes, cut into chunks
13 - 1 large red onion, cut into wedges
14 - 1 small sweet potato, peeled and cut into chunks
→ Optional Garnish
15 - Fresh herb sprigs
16 - Orange slices
# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
02 - In a small bowl, combine orange zest, orange juice, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, and black pepper to form the marinade.
03 - Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Rub half the marinade all over the chicken, including under the skin where possible. Stuff the cavity with orange peels and herb sprigs if desired.
04 - Toss all root vegetables and red onion with the remaining marinade in a large roasting pan. Spread evenly to form a bed for the chicken.
05 - Place the chicken breast-side up on top of the vegetables.
06 - Roast for 1 hour 20 minutes, basting the chicken with pan juices halfway through, until the skin is golden brown and a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 165°F.
07 - Remove from oven, tent loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest 10 minutes before carving. Serve chicken sliced with roasted vegetables, garnished with fresh herbs and orange slices if desired.
