Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. A dry skin is key to a crispy finish.
-
Generously season the chicken cavity and skin with salt and black pepper.
-
Place the lemon halves, garlic halves, and herb sprigs inside the chicken cavity.
-
Place the chicken in a roasting pan or large cast-iron skillet.
-
Roast for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the juices run clear when a thigh is pierced and a meat thermometer reads 165°F (74°C).
-
Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute for a moister chicken.
