Preheat oven to 220°C (200°C).
Make the stuffing by processing all ingredients for it in a food processor to a coarse consistency.
Drain all liquid and pat dry the whole Lilydale Free Range chicken with paper towels. Stuff the cavity with the stuffing. Truss the legs with kitchen twine.
Make the marinade by mixing butter, thyme, minced garlic, orange and salt in a bowl.
Rub the marinade evenly all over the chicken.
Add potatoes, carrots, onion, salt, pepper and olive oil to a large bowl. Toss to combine.
Place the marinated and stuffed chicken on a large roasting tray. Add the vegetables around it.
Roast in the preheated oven for approximately 70 minutes until chicken is golden and cooked through. Remove chicken from oven and rest for 15 minutes.
Place roasted chicken on a large serving platter, add the roast vegetables around it. Add fresh orange slices and garnish chicken with thyme sprigs. Serve.
