Method

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 200°C.

  2. Step 2

    Rinse the chicken and pat dry with paper towel. Place the onion and half the thyme sprigs in chicken cavity. Tie the legs together with kitchen string. Tuck the wings under the chicken. Combine the extra thyme leaves, half the oil and the crushed garlic in a bowl. Season. Rub the thyme mixture all over the chicken to coat.

  3. Step 3

    Place the chicken in a large baking pan. Bake for 1½ hours. Arrange the beetroot, pumpkin, halved garlic bulb and fennel around the chicken. Turn to coat in any juices. Sprinkle with remaining thyme sprigs. Roast for 30 mins. Add the broccoli to the pan. Drizzle with the lemon juice and the remaining oil. Roast for a further 20 mins or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender. Set aside for 10 mins to rest. Serve with the lemon wedges.
