Ingredients:
- 1 whole chicken, approximately 4 lbs.
- 1 lemon
- 3 or 4 sprigs of fresh rosemary* you may substitute any number of fresh herbs such as sage or tarragon.
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Tuck wings under back.
- Soak the chicken if you wish or rinse under cold water and pat dry inside and out.
- Wash the lemon and dry.
- Poke it with a fork to break the skin about 10 times.
- Wash the herbs and dry.
- Place lemon and herbs in body cavity.
- Rub the entire outside of the bird with a small amount of olive oil, salt and pepper it generously inside and out.
- Tie the legs together with kitchen twine and place in a roasting pan with a rack.
- Place in oven, uncovered, and roast undisturbed for one and one-half hours.
- Drain the liquid from the cavity into the bottom of the roast pan and continue roasting until thoroughly cooked, approximately an additional 15-20 minutes.
