Great and very easy. I also did this adding, in addition to the onion and rosemary, fresh thyme springs, 6 cloves of garlic, and half a lemon. Great the original way, or with the extra additions.

Excellent! This was my first time roasting a whole chicken. My family loved it. It came out moist and flavorful. I did follow other's suggestions to add lemon. It was great.

I took the advice of some others and rubbed the outside of the bird with olive oil. Then I squeezed 1/2 of a large lemon over the chicken and sprinkled with dried rosemary, garlic salt, and fresh ground black pepper. I added about 1/2 cup of water to the bottom of the pan and basted every 20 - 30 minutes. I kept the lid on the chicken for the first 1.5 hours and removed the lid for the last 1/2 hour to brown. I let it sit for 15 minutes with tin foil tented over top to keep warm before cutting into it. OMG, this was THE best chicken I have ever tasted. So flavorful, juicy, and aromatic. The meat just fell right off the bone, which made it difficult for carving and presentation, but who cares when it tastes THAT good!

This was SIMPLE & EXCELLENT! I followed the recommendations of others and added an entire head of garlic into the cavity along with the onion & rosemary. I'm cooking two more tomorrow--another for our house and one for my mom. Thank you for the recipe! :)

Hubby said best chicken he'd ever had. Combined methods of 1st three reviewers: rub in lemon, oil, liberally salted & cracked pepper on top, put paste of rosemary/garlic/oil under skin. Lemon/onion/garlic in salted cavity. Lemon quarters/potatoes/onions/celery on side w/ chicken broth. Will add garlic pods next time. Cooked 15 min at 450 without veggies in baking pan. Added veggies & cooked 435 for another 15 and then 30 minutes at 350. This was a 5 lb. pastured bird. Delish! Thanks so much for the recipe and tips!

I don't care for a whole chicken but this sounded so good. I stuffed inside with unpeeled garlic, onions, lemons and fresh rosemary. Rubbed olive oil and garlic and lemon pepper on top and rubbed some butter under skin. I added more rosemary to the top and baked for 1 hour at 350 covered. Added red potatoes and carrots and some chicken broth and baked another hour. Broiled for a few minutes at end to crisp up skin. Super good!!

This was excellent - I also used rosemary, garlic and olive oil to braise the top of the chicken. Then I poured about 2 Tbsp lemon juice over it. I also put 3/4 c. of chicken broth in the bottom of the pan and cooked the veggies in the pan while the chicken roasted.I will do this again !

Great basic recipe! I marinated the chicken the day before, so it had a lot of flavor. I stuffed the chicken with lemon pepper seasoning, fresh garlic, onion quarters, rosemary and lemon. I rubbed the outside with olive oil, fresh garlic, lemon pepper seasoning and rosemary. Cooked on rack and added 1 cup of chicken broth in the pan. Baked at 300 degrees for a little over 2.5 hours. It turned out very moist and delicious!

I gave this 3 stars for the taste... I knew going into this that it would be too bland for our tastes so I did what others suggested... I put 1 lemon, 1 onion, 2 garlic cloves, parsley, salt and pepper inside the bird and I rubbed extra virgin olive oil on the outside of the bird and put one chopped up garlic clove, parsley, salt and pepper on the outside of the bird. I put it in a covered dutch oven roasting pan and put baby carrots all around it and baked it at 350 degrees for 2 hours. It cooked PERFECTLY! BUT.... I was surprised it was still too bland for our tastes. If you have never roasted a chicken before DEFINATLY give this recipe a try and know that you can add whatever you like to make it your own. I never stuffed the inside of a bird before and the bird was soooooo juicy, I'll definatly be doing that from now on. And the carrots were Excellent, again I've never done that before so I'll also be doing that from now on. Just know if you like alot of spice or taste you'll Definatly need to use your own ingredients!

This was good enough, but not as exciting as I expected, based on some of the other reviews. Per others' suggestions, I added lemons, onion quarters, and garlic cloves to the cavity stuffing. Was still very tasty.

Definitely rub butter and rosemary under the skin. I also sprinkled a little kosher salt on the chicken. So moist, so tender, we really enjoyed it. I'll make it for my in-laws next time they visit...that's how good it was!

I've made a lot of roasted chickens in my life & I have to admit, this is one of the tastiest! I did rub it with Olive Oil & sprinkle my homemade Italian Seasoning on top. Mine was fully cooked in 2 hrs. Wonderful!

This was my first time cooking a whole chicken & I plan to do it often now. This was delicious! My family loved it. As other reviewers I rubbed outside with EVOO (extra virgin olive oil), stuffed the cavity with onions. I did not have fresh rosemary, so I sprinkled dried rosemary on the outside and it was delicious, I also placed carrots & potatoes in the roaster with the chicken.
