Roast Chicken with Lemon and Thyme

I’m going to show you how to

make my famous roast chicken, affectionately known as Didi's Chicken. This dish is our go-to comfort food, perfect for any occasion, and today, I’m sharing it with you, featuring an essential oil twist.

Wait, essential oils, what? I have to confess, I've only recently discovered these little wonders, and they're really changing my life. Yes, I'm the newest person to become obsessed with doTerra essential oils… and did you know you can COOK with some of them too?!

Ingredients

• 1 whole chicken

• 4 Tbsp olive oil

• 3 drops doTerra Lemon Essential Oil

• 3 drops doTerra Thyme Essential Oil

• salt and pepper to taste

• sprinkle dried oregano

• 1 lemon sliced

• 1 onion sliced

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 170 degrees Celsius.

• Mix the oils and salt and pepper together in a small bowl. Set aside.

• Place whole chicken in roasting pan, breast side up, and remove giblets from cavity.

• Using silicone basting brush, cover the entire outside of the chicken with your oil mixture. If there's some leftover, pour some in the cavity of the chicken. Sprinkle the chicken with a little dried oregano.

• Place lemon and onion slices in the bottom of the roasting pan and in the cavity of the chicken. Add a little water, just enough to barely cover the bottom of the pan.

• Cook in oven for about 1 hour 45 minutes, (give or take depending on the size of the chicken) AND the internal temperature of the chicken 82 degrees Celsius

• Take it out and let chicken rest 10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
