Zubereitung

1
Take the chicken from the refrigerator 20 to 30 minutes before cooking. Heat the oven to 220°C and place a rack in the center.
2
Mix the olive oil, garlic, thyme leaves, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until a fragrant paste forms.
3
Rub the herb paste over the chicken skin and into the cavity. Place the lemon halves and the reserved whole thyme sprigs inside the cavity, then tuck the wing tips under the body and tie the legs loosely with kitchen twine.
4
Set the chicken breast-side up in a roasting pan. Roast at 220°C for 20 minutes, until the skin begins to bronze.
5
Reduce the oven to 190°C and continue roasting for 50 to 60 minutes. Rotate the pan halfway through if one side browns faster, and spoon pan juices over the chicken once or twice.

6
Check the thickest part of the thigh with an instant-read thermometer; it should reach 74°C. Transfer the chicken to a board and rest uncovered for 15 minutes so the juices redistribute.
7
Remove and discard the cavity aromatics, carve the chicken, and spoon the hot pan juices over the portions. Serve immediately.
