How to Make Oven Roasted Chicken With Roasted Garlic And French Bread

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and dry a whole chicken (approximately 3-4 lbs) thoroughly and remove giblets.
Baste the chicken generously with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and any other desired spices. Rub the mixture evenly over the entire chicken.
Place 4 individual garlic cloves and any leftover spice mixture inside the chicken cavity.
Place the chicken in a large roasting pan.
Separate 1 head of garlic into individual cloves and arrange them around the chicken in the roasting pan.
Pour 1 cup of chicken broth into the bottom of the roasting pan.
Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
While the chicken rests, heat the French bread according to package instructions.
Carve the chicken and serve with the roasted garlic cloves and French bread.
Squeeze roasted garlic onto slices of French bread and/or onto chicken pieces as desired.
