Ingredients

  • 1 whole chicken

  • 1 tablespoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 2 sprigs rosemary

  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled

  • 1 lemon, halved

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

  2. Pat chicken dry and sprinkle salt on all sides and inside the cavity. Sprinkle with black pepper. Pluck the leaves from 1 spring of rosemary and sprinkle on the chicken. Place the other whole sprig inside the cavity along with garlic and lemon.

  3. Place the chicken on a roasting rack set inside a roasting pan.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
