Let's Start Cooking!
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°. Using a sharp knife, trim stalks and root end of fennel bulb. Cut bulb lengthwise into quarters; cut and remove core. Cut fennel into 1-in. wedges. Place fennel, carrots and three of the onion quarters in a shallow roasting pan, spreading evenly
Step 2
Cut lemon in half; squeeze juice into a small bowl, reserving lemon halves. Stir minced garlic, honey, salt, pepper flakes and pepper into juice.
Step 3
Place chicken on a work surface, neck side down. With fingers, carefully loosen skin from the tail end of the chicken breast. Spoon juice mixture under skin of breast; secure skin with toothpicks. Place garlic cloves, lemon halves and remaining onion inside the chicken cavity. Tuck wings under chicken; tie drumsticks together. Place chicken over vegetables, breast side up.
Step 4
Roast 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh reads 170°-175°. (Cover loosely with foil if chicken browns too quickly.)
Step 5
Remove roasting pan from oven; increase oven setting to 450°. Remove chicken from pan; tent with foil and let stand 15 minutes before carving.
Step 6
Meanwhile, return the roasting pan to the oven; roast vegetables 10-15 minutes longer or until vegetables are tender and lightly browned. Using a slotted spoon, remove vegetables from the pan. If desired, skim fat from pan juices and serve with chicken and vegetables.
