Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 °F and place a roasting pan inside.
Add all of the chopped vegetables, the oregano and quartered lemons to a large bowl along with 2 tbsp duck fat and 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil. Season with 2 tsp of your favorite seasoning, 1/2 tsp of extra black pepper, and 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg. Toss everything together evenly.
Rub the outside of the chicken with duck fat and olive oil, then season with 1-2 tsp of seasoning all around the outside, along with a pinch of nutmeg and 1-2 tsp lemon zest.
Remove the heated pan from the oven and close the door quickly to prevent heat loss. Add the vegetable mix to the pan and spread out evenly. Lay a roasting rack over top the vegetables and spread the sprigs of sage and rosemary across the top. Lay the chicken directly on the herbs, insert an oven-safe meat thermometer into the thicket part of the breast and put the pan in the oven.
Roast everything for 30-40 minutes, until the meat probe reads 163-165 °F internal temperature. Remove from the oven and let rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving warm. Enjoy!
