Lemon Rosemary Roast Chicken

Last week  the discussion on Facebook was about what we were preparing for dinner. My kitchen was filled with the most mouth-watering aroma! It smelled ah-ma-zing!!! Lemon Rosemary Roast Chicken was on the menu.  This is a roasted chicken your family won’t soon forget. It is juicy and infused with the flavors of woodsy rosemary, tart lemon, savory onion and garlic.

Wash & pat dry a 5 pound roaster chicken. Cut your onion and one lemon into wedges. Mince your garlic, rosemary and slice your 2nd lemon.

Stuff the onion and lemon wedges into the chicken body cavity. Gently separate the skin and stuff with a mixture of sliced lemon, garlic, rosemary, salt & pepper.

Sprinkle with remaining salt & pepper and drizzle with oil. Rub to cover well and place on a roasting pan and bake at 400 for 1.5 hours.
