Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Rinse the whole chicken under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    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, ensuring to get it under the skin for extra flavor.

  3. 3

    Stuff the Chicken

    Cut the lemon in half and place it inside the cavity of the chicken along with any leftover rosemary sprigs.

  4. 4

    Roast the Chicken

    Place the chicken breast-side up in a roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  5. 5

    Rest and Serve

    Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. Serve with your choice of sides.
