• 2 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped

3. Step-by-Step Instructions

Preparing the Herb-Roasted Chicken

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Ensure your CAROTE Premium 16pc Nonstick Cookware Set is ready for easy handling and roasting.
2. Remove the chicken giblets and pat the chicken dry with paper towels. A dry skin will crisp up beautifully during roasting.
3. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, chopped herbs, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper.
4. Rub this herb mixture all over the chicken, including under the skin and inside the cavity.
5. Stuff the lemon slices inside the cavity for added flavor and moisture.
6. Place the chicken on a roasting pan or a wire rack. Roast in the oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
7. For extra crispy skin, baste the chicken with pan juices every 20 minutes. For convenience, you can use the Ninja Air Fryer Pro Crisp & Roast 4-in-1 for a quick roast alternative.
8. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving to retain the juices.

4. Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container like the JoyJolt Airtight Glass Food Storage Set. Keep them refrigerated for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, use the oven or an air fryer for best results, preserving the crispy skin and juicy interior.
