I've roasted fennel bulb chunks with mixed root veggies and whole garlic
cloves quite successfully. But never with a whole chicken involved...just a
pan of mixed veggies drizzled with oil and lightly seasoned in the oven at
say 400F till nicely browned.

I'm guessing it'll turn out good and more than meet your expectations.
