Classic Thyme and Lemon Chicken
Salt
Pepper
Chicken
1 Large bunch of fresh thyme
1 Lemon, halved
Olive oil
(1) Preheat the oven at 180 degree
(2) Pat the chicken dry
(3) Rub a generous amount of salt,pepper and fresh thyme on the chicken.
(4) Put the lemon and some sprigs of fresh thyme into the cavity
* For lemon to release maximum flavour, preboil it in boiling water for about 1 minute and poke it with a fork before inserting it into the cavity.

(5) Rub a generous amount of olive oil (This is how you get crispy chicken skin!)
(6) Voila now you are done, just roast the chicken for around an hour or until the juices run clear when you cut between the leg and thigh.
Tips:
You could roast some vegetables together with the chicken i would suggest carrots, pumpkin, potatoes, capsicum, onions and garlic (as a whole) toss it with some salt & pepper, olive oil, thyme with a touch of balsamic vinegar and honey.
