Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 (3-pound) whole chicken
- 2 lemons, halved
- 1 garlic head
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a small bowl, combine the rosemary, thyme, oregano, salt, and olive oil.
- Remove any giblets from inside the chicken and pat it dry with paper towels. Set it in a shallow roasting pan and coat the chicken with the seasoning mix.
- Stuff 2 lemon halves into the cavity of the chicken and place the other 2 in the pan.
- Slice the top off the garlic head to make the cloves visible and set it in the cavity of the chicken, cloves out.
- Bake the chicken for 60 to 75 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the breast without touching the bone registers an internal temperature of 170°F.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 to 10 minutes, then slice and serve.
