How to make it

  1. 1

    Prep the bird

    Pat the chicken very dry. Rub all over with olive oil, salt and pepper. Stuff the cavity with lemon, garlic and rosemary.

  2. 2

    Roast

    Roast at 425F for 70-80 minutes, until the juices run clear and the skin is deep golden.

  3. 3

    Rest and carve

    Let it rest 15 minutes before carving so the juices settle. Spoon over the roasted-lemon pan drippings.
