Ingredients

• 1 whole chicken (about 4 lbs)
• 2 lemons
• 4 cloves garlic
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp dried rosemary
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and place it breast-side up in a roasting pan.
2. Zest one lemon and juice both lemons into a small bowl. Mince the garlic and mix it together with the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
3. Rub the herb mixture all over the outside of the chicken and underneath the skin of the breasts as much as possible. Stuff the squeezed lemon halves inside the cavity.
4. Roast the chicken uncovered for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the juices run clear and a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 165°F.
5. Let the chicken rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before carving so the juices settle back in.
