Tips:

- Prep the Vegetables: Cut the onions, pumpkin, and potatoes into even-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly. Toss them in olive oil and season with salt before placing them around the chicken.

- Check the Chicken's Internal Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken. It should reach 165°F (75°C) when done.

- Rest the Chicken: Allow the chicken to rest for about 10 minutes after removing it from the oven. This helps the juices redistribute, making the meat more tender and flavorful.

- Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh thyme adds a vibrant flavor to the dish. If you can't find fresh thyme, dried thyme can be used as a substitute, but use it sparingly as it's more concentrated.

- Baste Occasionally: Baste the chicken with its own juices every 30-40 minutes during the roasting process to keep the meat moist and enhance the flavor.
