Step by Step Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 475°F.

Step 2

Wash chicken and pat dry with paper toweling.

Step 3

Coarsely chop the bulb of garlic (don't bother to peel cloves).

Step 4

Remove rosemary from 4 of the stems and chop coarsely; reserve the rest for later.

Step 5

Chop lemons into quarters.

Step 6

Put chopped garlic, chopped lemons and the chopped rosemary into the chicken's cavity.

Step 7

Rub the chicken skin generously with the butter or olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Step 8

Place the chicken on a rack in a roasting pan and tuck remaining rosemary stems on the chicken, around wings and drumsticks.

Step 9

Roast chicken in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Step 10

Decrease oven temperature to 375F and cook for 60-75 minutes more or until the juices of the chicken run clear (time depends a lot on weight).

Step 11

Allow chicken to sit at least 15 minutes before carving.

Step 12

Garnish with more fresh rosemary before serving, if desired.

Very good and easy chicken = I really liked using the lemons. I used dried rosemary because I didn't have fresh but otherwise made as directed. Thanks for sharing!
