5 pounds roasting chicken -- washed and patted dry
4 cloves fresh garlic (can use more, I do!) -- peeled and chopped
1 whole lemon -- halved
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 whole medium onion -- peeled and chopped
butter
olive oil
salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Loosen skin of chicken. Remove one of the sprigs of rosemary from stem and chop fine.
Place garlic and rosemary under skin of chicken. Cut one half of lemon in thin slices. Squeeze remaining half of lemon over chicken skin. (Can skip this part if you don't want a lemon taste to the skin).
Fill cavity with remaining garlic, sprig of rosemary, onion, and lemon. Place in roasting pan. Drizzle with olive oil and dot with butter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Roast uncovered for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes turn oven down to 350 degrees and continue roasting for an hour and 10 minutes.
Remove chicken from oven, tent with foil, and let rest no less than 10 minutes.
