This one is all about crisp, golden skin and juicy meat, thanks to a fragrant herb paste of thyme, rosemary, oregano, garlic powder, and a touch of turmeric worked right under the skin and into every crevice. Stuffing the cavity with smashed garlic, fresh herb sprigs, and lemon halves means the bird roasts from the inside out, infusing the meat with bright, savory flavor as it cooks. The two-stage oven temperature does the real work here ā a hot blast to crisp the skin, then a gentler roast to bring the thigh meat to perfectly tender, juicy doneness. A ten-minute rest before carving keeps every slice succulent, and a scatter of fresh parsley with extra lemon wedges finishes the platter beautifully. It's a straightforward, comforting roast chicken that fits easily into a gluten free dinner rotation, no special planning required beyond what's already in this ingredient list. Serve it with your favorite roasted vegetables or a simple salad for a complete, crowd-pleasing meal.

Preheat the oven to 425Ā°F (220Ā°C). Pat the chicken thoroughly dry with paper towels ā the drier the skin, the better it will brown.
In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, dried thyme, dried rosemary, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground turmeric until a paste forms.
