How to Make Balsamic Roast Italian Chicken

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
3. Gently loosen the skin of the chicken breast and legs. Carefully slide your fingers underneath to create pockets and spoon the herb mixture evenly inside.
4. Place the chicken in a shallow roasting pan, breast side up.
5. Roast for 70-75 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165°F (74°C).
6. Remove the chicken from the oven, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken.
