Herb Crusted Roast Chicken with Lemon and Garlic Marinade
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken (about 4 pounds)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Zest and juice of 2 lemons
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, and black pepper.
- Place the whole chicken in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on a roasting rack in a roasting pan. Discard the marinade.
- In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with a little olive oil to form a crumbly mixture. Press the breadcrumb mixture onto the chicken to form a crust.
- Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when measured with a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh without touching the bone.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
- Serve the herb crusted roast chicken with your favorite sides and enjoy!
The Herb Crusted Roast Chicken with lemon and garlic marinade has a rich history dating back to traditional European cuisine.

The succulent chicken is marinated in a zesty blend of lemon, garlic, and herbs, creating a tantalizing flavor profile. This classic dish is a staple in French and Italian culinary traditions, with variations found in regions like Provence and Tuscany. For the best version of this dish, sourcing high-quality, organic chicken and using fresh herbs is essential. Alternatively, spatchcocking the chicken before roasting can result in a juicy and evenly cooked bird.
