Add the chopped vegetables: Place the chopped vegetables in the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish, drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and season with salt and pepper.
Roast: Place the chicken on top of the vegetables and season everything with salt and pepper. Bake the chicken in a 450°F oven for 10-15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350°F and continue cooking for 20 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature is 165°F. The skin should be golden brown and the juice should be sweet and clear.
Resting: When the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and cover it with aluminum foil. Let it stand for about 10 minutes before cooking to let the milk settle. If you cut it right away, the meat will lose its juices and become tougher and tougher.
Serve: Cook the chicken and serve with roasted vegetables, and save the pan drippings to make the chicken gravy! Serve this healthy chicken and veggies with my homemade rolls!

Remove the Chicken Legs: Take a leg slightly away from the body and carefully remove the meat and skin. Then, use a little more force and move your leg away from the body until you hear the hip joint crack. When the hip bone is exposed, insert your sharp knife between the hip bone and the rest of the body and cut it. Repeat these steps with the other leg.
Separate the hips and thighs: Now separate the hips and thighs by placing your knife on the natural line that separates the thighs from the thighs. Cut this joint, separating the two pieces. Repeat with the other leg.
Sear the chicken breast: Score one side of the breast to remove one side of the breast meat. Place your knife along the natural line separating the two chicken breasts and cut from front to back while keeping the breast meat away from the bone. Remove all the breast meat from the chicken. Cut the breast meat into pieces, leaving the skin on and cut into small pieces.
Make chicken stock: At this point, discard the carcass or use it to make a delicious chicken stock at home.

How To Roast A Whole Chicken
The skin is stuffed with lemon and herbs, until the outside is crispy and deep golden, and the inside is baked.
It’s really easy to prepare a whole chicken for roasting. The trick is to use an upside-down dessert spoon to score the skin – it hugs the shape of the chicken thighs and doesn’t tear the skin.
Then just spoon the garlic-herb-oil under the skin, then spread it out. Or keep it straight and it’s raining (see pictures below) – whatever you find easier!
TIP: Use most of the oil under the skin, that’s where you get the most bang for your buck. Also, garlic burns on the skin, so you don’t want too much on your face.
Baked Chicken Breast
After the chicken is coated in oil, add the garlic and onion layer. This serves two purposes:
