Step-by-Step Instructions for Roasted Garlic Chicken

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice off the tops of the whole garlic bulbs and drizzle with olive oil. Wrap in foil and roast for 30-35 minutes.
Prepare the chicken by patting dry and drizzling with olive oil. Season generously with salt and black pepper.
Once garlic is done, arrange the chicken in a single layer in the baking dish. Add lemon slices and vegetables if using.
Increase oven temperature to 425°F (220°C). Squeeze roasted garlic over chicken and roast for 25-30 minutes until cooked through.
Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes, then garnish with fresh herbs.
Serve warm with side dishes like salad, rice, or pasta.
