Whole Pesto Chicken

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Let your whole chicken come to room temperature, then pat it dry thoroughly and season it with salt. Spread your favorite store-bought pesto (preferably with an olive oil base) generously over the chicken. Roughly chop the onions and peppers and place them in a roasting pan, then place the chicken on top of or alongside them. Add a bit extra salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. Roast for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). The onions and peppers will caramelize and become delicious. Serve the pesto chicken with a side of quinoa and broccoli.
