Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat dry the chicken with paper towels and rub all over with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
2.
Stuff the cavity of the chicken with garlic, lemon halves, onion quarters, and half of the rosemary and thyme. Place the chicken in a roasting pan.
3.
Roast in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and the juices run clear. Let it rest for 10 minutes before carving. Serve garnished with remaining herbs.
