Lemon and Garlic Roasted Chicken

Lemon and Garlic Roasted Chicken

Ingredients:
1 free-range, organic chicken
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh chopped rosemary
1 lemon
2 tablespoons olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Clean the chicken by removing the giblets and neck and rinsing the entire
chicken. Dry thoroughly with paper towels. Put the chicken in a roasting pan,
breast side up.
Zest the lemon. Combine the garlic, rosemary, lemon zest and olive oil in a
small bowl and brush the mixture over the entire chicken, including inside the
bird.
Slice the lemon and stuff the slices inside the cavity of the chicken.
Roast for 25 minutes per pound until the breast temperature reads 170 degrees
on an instant-read thermometer.
Allow chicken to rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving.
