Season the inside of the chicken with salt and pepper.
1 large chicken, salt, ground pepper
Place the garlic, herbs, and lemon wedges in the cavity.
2 sprigs rosemary, 2 sprigs thyme, 1 whole lemon, 6 cloves garlic
Truss the chicken and place in a lightly greased roasting pan.
Drizzle with the olive oil and rub it into the skin of the chicken.
3 tbsp olive oil
Place the pan in the center of a preheated 425F (220C) oven.
Baste with the accumulated pan juices every 10 to 15 minutes until the chicken is done, about 80 to 90 minutes.
The chicken is done when the juices run clear when the thickest part of the thigh is pricked with a knife.
Remove the chicken from the oven and allow to rest 10 minutes before carving.

Simple roatsed chicken with a herbal kick - divine little extra.
