Ingredients

• 1 whole chicken, 3-4 pounds
• Salt and pepper
• ¼ cup mustard, preferably homemade
• 3 carrots, sliced into bite-sized chunks
• ½ pound Brussels sprouts, cut in half
• 1 pound small potatoes, halved or quartered
• Olive oil
• Several sprigs of fresh thyme, or rosemary
• 1 lemon, cut in half

Instructions

1. Rub chicken with salt, pepper and mustard and let it come to room temperature. Preheat oven to 450°. Toss the carrots, Brussels sprouts and potatoes with olive oil, salt and pepper in a bowl until evenly coated.
2. Place the vegetables in a large roasting pan and add the chicken on top with the herb sprigs and lemon halves. Add a little more salt and pepper on top so it is amply coated and roast at 450° for 20 minutes.
3. Turn the temperature down to 375° and roast for another 40–45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165° and the juices run clear. Take out of the oven, place the chicken on a carving board and let it rest for 10–15 minutes. Carve the chicken and place all pieces on a serving platter. Drizzle with any pan juices and serve. Save any leftover pieces and the carcass to make stock.
