Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
In a bowl, combine softened butter, zest of the lemon, herbs, and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
In a large rectangular baking dish, place your chopped vegetables on either end leaving room in the middle for the chicken. Salt and pepper your vegetables.
Use your fingers to smear the butter mixture all over the chicken and under the skin. Cut the lemon in quarters. Place the lemon quarters in the cavity of the chicken, also add some garlic and whole sprigs of herbs. Place the chicken in the middle of the roasting dish with the vegetables.
Place the roasting dish in the oven and roast it for 1 hour to 1 hour, 15 minutes minutes. Skin on the chicken should be deep golden brown. Make sure to check it with an instant read thermometer. When your chicken gives a reading of 165 degrees in the breast and thigh, it is done!
Cut up and serve alongside the roasted vegetables! Enjoy!
