Method
- Heat the oven to 200 C. Pat the whole chicken dry. Rub with olive oil, salt, black pepper, chopped rosemary, sage, oregano and crushed garlic cloves. Put lemon halves in the cavity.
- Roast 20 minutes, then lower to 180 C and cook 45 to 55 minutes more, until the thigh juices run clear.
- If the skin needs colour, grill 3 minutes. Rest 10 minutes, then carve and spoon over the pan juices.
Shopping tip
A whole chicken about 1.5 kg, or the same weight in bone-in pieces. Fresh rosemary and sage beat dried, but a dried oregano pinch is fine.
