Remove the chicken giblets (if inside cavity).
Rinse the chicken inside and out. Remove any excess fat and pat the outside dry. Liberally salt and pepper the inside of the chicken.
Stuff the cavity with the bunch of thyme, the lemon quarters and all the garlic.
Brush the outside of the chicken with the butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Tie the legs together with kitchen string and tuck the wing tips under the body of the chicken.
Place chicken on a rack in a roasting pan.
Roast chicken for 1 1/2 hours, or until the juices run clear when you cut between a leg and thigh.
When done, remove the chicken to a platter or cutting board and cover with aluminum foil for about 20 minutes.
Then slice chicken and serve. |
