Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine freshly squeezed lemon juice, melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create a fragrant marinade.
- Rinse the whole chicken under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Place the chicken in a roasting pan, then generously rub the marinade all over the bird.
- Tuck sprigs of fresh thyme and rosemary inside the cavity along with a few extra garlic cloves.
- Place the chicken into the preheated oven and roast it for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the skin turns golden brown and crispy.
- Once cooked, carefully remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 15 minutes before carving.

Notes
Opt for bone-in, skin-on chicken for maximum juiciness and crispy texture. Preheat your oven to achieve golden, crispy skin.
