Preparation Method
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Rinse the whole chicken under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, olive oil, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper.
- Rub the garlic and herb mixture all over the chicken, making sure to get under the skin and inside the cavity.
- Place the halved lemons inside the cavity of the chicken.
- Tie the legs of the chicken together with kitchen twine and tuck the wings under the body.
- Place the chicken in a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Baste the chicken with the pan juices every 30 minutes to keep it moist.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
