In a large re-sealable bag, place next 7 ingredients (carrots through salt and pepper). Seal and shake to coat evenly. Place ingredients evenly into a large baking dish.
Pour chicken broth on top and then place whole chicken on top of prepared vegetables. Sprinkle salt and pepper on top of chicken and place lemon inside of the chicken.
Bake for 1 hour, or until the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165 degrees, and holds that temperature for 4 seconds. Allow to cool for 10 minutes, slice chicken and serve alongside roasted vegetables.
