Delicious Thyme Roasted Chicken and Fennel
"Total comfort food...a simple and absolutely delicious chicken dish, and ready in just about 1 hour. This dish has so much flavor, I have made this many times over the years, it will always be a favorite in my house. You can remove the skin if desired, also you may double the recipe, and of coarse adjust the thyme to taste. I have even added in whole peeled cloves of garlic (one whole garlic bulb, seperated into cloves) in with the veggies in place of the garlic powder."
