1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
1 tsp salt
Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
½ tsp black pepper
1 lemon, halved

For the cavity

4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 sprigs fresh rosemary

For the pan

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
½ cup chicken broth

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the chicken thoroughly dry with paper towels — the drier the skin, the better it will brown.
2
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper, stirring until a rough paste forms.
