AIP Friendly Garlic Tarragon Roasted Chicken

Few things are as satisfying as a perfectly roasted chicken, and this version delivers golden, crackling skin with deeply aromatic flavor from fresh tarragon, minced garlic, turmeric, and ginger. The herb-and-olive-oil paste gets rubbed both over the outside and directly under the breast skin, which means every bite is seasoned all the way through — not just on the surface. Lemon halves, thyme sprigs, and quartered onion stuffed into the cavity perfume the meat from the inside as it roasts, adding another layer of depth without any complicated steps. Eating this way often means scanning every label and second-guessing restaurant meals, so having a showstopper like this in your rotation is genuinely freeing. Every single ingredient here is clean and straightforward — no nightshades, no grains, no dairy, no seed-based spices outside of what the protocol allows — so you can cook with confidence rather than caution. The two-stage roasting method (a blast of high heat followed by a gentler finish) ensures the skin crisps up beautifully while the meat stays juicy and tender. Serves four, and the leftovers are just as good the next day straight from the fridge.
