This was my 1st roasted chicken and it turned out beautifully! I made sure to brine a 3lb. chicken for 2.5hrs. in the fridge. I stuffed the cavity with fresh rosemary, a chopped onion, a few cloves of fresh garlic, a little olive oil, Kosher salt, pepper, lemon zest, and squeezed lemon quarters. I added more rosemary, Kosher salt and pepper under the skin. I rubbed olive oil all over the outside and finished with the reserved lemon juice. I cooked the chicken covered @ 350F for about 2hrs, uncovered for the last .5hr., basting every so often with some stock. Very flavorful, juicy and tender! Used leftover the next day for a cold chicken sandwich and it was by far the best one I've ever had. Lastly, I made stock from the bones...nothing went to waste! Will definitely make this again.
