Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Rinse the half chicken under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Season the Chicken
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken, including under the skin for more flavor.
Add Lemon
Cut the lemon in half and place one half inside the cavity of the chicken. Squeeze the juice from the other half over the chicken.
Roast the Chicken
Place the chicken in a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden brown.
Rest and Serve
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving. Serve warm.
