Looking for a savory and delicious main course that's not only delightful but also accommodating for those with gluten, dairy, and low FODMAP dietary restrictions? Look no further! This mouth-watering Savory Roasted Chicken is perfect for any family lunch or dinner gathering, serving up to ten generous portions. With a total preparation and cooking time of around 100 minutes, this recipe is easy to whip up and promises a flavorful outcome.

This roasted chicken boasts a unique blend of seasonings, including onion salt, dried thyme, dried savory, a hint of orange zest, and pepper, all encased in a crispy, canola oil-rubbed skin.

The cooking method involves a simple yet effective baking technique, resulting in a perfectly cooked, juicy chicken with a golden-brown crust.

For an added touch of elegance, the recipe suggests removing the skin before carving, and if desired, skimming the fat and thickening the pan juices for a homemade gravy that elevates the dish even further. With a caloric breakdown that emphasizes protein and healthy fats, this recipe is not only delicious but also fits well into a balanced diet.
