Directions:Preheat oven to 425º
Place 4-5 sprigs of fresh rosemary onto the bottom of a greased roasting pan. Place the chicken, breast side up, on the bed of rosemary. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice of the lemon all over the chicken; outside and inside the cavity. Place the lemon halves inside the cavity, along with the 4 cloves of crushed garlic, and several more sprigs of the rosemary. Salt and pepper the chicken and surround it with the remaining garlic cloves.
Put the chicken into the preheated oven. Roast for 20 minutes. Then turn down the heat to 350º, based the chicken with the accumulated pan juices. Bake for another 40 minutes, basting every 15 minutes. To test the chicken for doneness, pierce the thigh meat. If the juices run clear and are not pink the chicken is done.
Let the chicken rest for about 10 minutes after you remove it from the oven before you carve it for serving.
