Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk Splenda Sugar Blend, lemon juice, soy sauce and garlic together until sweetener dissolves.
Place carrots in roasting pan and season with salt and pepper. Tie chicken legs together and tuck wing tips underneath body. Place chicken breast-side up in roasting pan. Brush lemon mixture over chicken and under skin.
Roast, basting with lemon mixture every 20 minutes, until golden brown or until meat thermometer reads 165°F, about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to rest for 20 minutes before carving.
Carve chicken, serve with roasted carrots and top with parsley.
Note
For a leaner option, substitute 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts for a whole chicken.
Roast carrots for 10-15 minutes before adding chicken breasts. Continue roasting, basting with lemon mixture every 15 minutes, until golden brown or until meat thermometer reads 165°F, about 20-25 minutes.
