Method

Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Season chicken inside and out with salt and pepper.
Mix olive oil, butter, rosemary, and thyme. Rub over chicken.
Roast for 1.5-2 hours, basting occasionally with the juices.
While chicken roasts, prepare vegetables: toss with oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 30-40 minutes until tender.
Make gravy: deglaze the roasting tray with chicken stock, scrape up the browned bits, and simmer until thickened.
Before serving, check that the thickest part of the poultry reaches 74°C (165°F) with a food thermometer.
