Ingredients
– 1 whole chicken

– 2 tablespoons olive oil

– 1 lemon, sliced

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and rub the garlic and herb mixture all over the chicken, including under the skin.
Place the lemon slices inside the cavity of the chicken.
Set the chicken on a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving.
