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.
