Whole Roasted Lemon Thyme Chicken

Image
1 whole chicken (4-5 lbs) 1 lemon 4 cloves fresh garlic 1 Tbsp garlic salt 4 sprigs of fresh thyme 1 Tbsp dried thyme Preheat oven to 350°F Remove chicken from packaging, discard innards and neck, making sure the chest cavity is empty  Crack the garlic cloves with a large knife making sure to crack every clove, put in chest cavity  Rub the fresh thyme sprigs in your hands quickly, just until you can smell it, then pack in chicken  Slice lemon in half Juice half of the lemon into the chest cavity, then put the rest into the chicken  Juice the other half of the lemon over the outside of the chicken being sure to rub it all over. Put the rest of the lemon in the chicken (Pro-tip: cut the lemon into quarters if it won't all fit. The extra flavor is worth cramming the whole lemon into the chicken)  Cover outside of the chicken in garlic salt & the dried thyme  Put chicken on cooking rack, then put in oven & cook 1 hour, checking period...
