Try this. It's simple, tasty and quick. Just spatchcock the chicken. Tuck
the wings up on the back. Rub all over lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle
with salt, pepper, garlic powder, thyme and rosemary. Cut up a couple of
carrots and potatoes. (Make sure their surface is dry) Toss veggies with
olive oil, salt and pepper, garlic powder, thyme and rosemary. Place
chicken in center of roasting pan and surround with veggies. Preheat oven
to 450F. Place chicken and veggies in oven for about 40 minutes. Chicken
and veggies should be nicely browned.
