Lemon Roasted Chicken

Ingredients:

  • 1 whole organic chicken (about 5lbs)
  • salt and pepper
  • juice of 2 lemons, shells retained
  • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoon dried thyme
Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Wash chicken well inside and out and pat dry. Season well with salt and pepper and stuff squeezed out lemon halves into cavity. Place chicken breast down on the rack in a shallow roasting dish.

Combine lemon juice, olive oil, mustard, oregano, and thyme in a bowl and brush over chicken.

Bake 60-70 minutes, making sure to turn chicken over at halfway point and basting it regularly with juices from the pan. The chicken should reach350 degrees F when done. When the chicken is done, cover in aluminum foil and let rest for about 10 minutes. Serve hot with pan juices.
