Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Marinade

In a bowl, combine minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

2. Marinate the Chicken

Place the whole chicken in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken and seal the bag. Massage the marinade into the chicken and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

3. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

4. Prepare the Chicken for Roasting

Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it in a roasting pan. Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken. Place lemon slices inside the cavity of the chicken.

5. Roast the Chicken

Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Baste the chicken with the juices every 30 minutes.

6. Rest and Serve

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving. Serve warm.
