"Make certain to baste the chicken while cooking several time and remove the foil the last half of the cooking time to crisp up the skin, do not omit the two whole lemons in the cavity they add a lot of flavor and also keep the chicken moist, beacuse of the size of the chicken and removing several times during cooking the cooking times may vary, to make certain the chicken is cooked to perfection use a meat thermometor inserted in the breast and away from the bone until temperature reaches 180 degrees."
