2 tbsp fennel seeds , coarsely crushed in resealable plastic bag
2 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
2 tbsp chopped fresh tarragon
2 tbsp chopped fresh marjoram
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
2 3- lb whole chickens
2 lemons, halved
1 cup vernaccia di san gimignano wine or other dry white wine
1/3 cup low-salt chicken broth

Preheat oven to 450°F. Mix remaining 1 tablespoon each fennel seeds and herbs in small bowl. Rinse chickens inside and out; pat dry. Rub chickens inside and out with lemon halves, squeezing some of juice into cavities. Rub outside of chickens with 1/4 cup oil, then fennel seed mixture.

Roast chickens 30 minutes, basting occasionally with pan juices. Combine wine and broth and pour over chickens. Roast 15 minutes. Turn chickens breast side up. Roast chickens until juices run clear when pierced with fork in thickest part of thigh, about 40 minutes longer. Transfer chickens and fennel mixture to platter.
