This simple yet flavor-packed roasted chicken is juicy, tender, and slow-baked in a savory herb broth that turns into pure comfort. It’s the kind of meal that makes everyone hover in the kitchen waiting for it to come out of the oven. Serve it over plain rice or toss it with trofie pasta (my hubby’s favorite) and watch it disappear.

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat chicken dry and place in a large roasting pan or baking dish.
Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Rub the seasoning all over the chicken.
Scatter sliced onions around and underneath the chicken.
Add bay leaves and fresh thyme.
Pour in the brown rice apple vinegar and chicken bone broth.
Ensure the liquid sits around the chicken but does not fully cover it.
Bake uncovered for 45 minutes until the chicken is golden, juicy, and tender.
Carefully remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Pour the broth into a saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with cold water, then whisk into the broth.
Simmer until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
Spoon the rich sauce over the chicken and serve with plain rice or trofie pasta.
For extra crispy skin, broil the chicken for the last 5 minutes of cooking.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
You can substitute brown rice apple vinegar with regular apple cider vinegar if needed.
