Cooking Instructions

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

Season the Chicken
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chickens, ensuring to get it under the skin as well.

Add Lemon
Cut the lemons in half and place them inside the cavity of each chicken for added flavor.

Roasting
Place the chickens breast-side up in a roasting pan. Roast in the oven for about 1.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Rest and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chickens from the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes before carving. Serve family-style on a large platter.
