Ingredients:

1 whole chicken, about 4 pounds

1 medium onion, sliced

3 cloves of garlic, peeled

1 lemon, halved

6 – 8 Tbs melted butter

1/2 tsp ground thyme

1 tsp ground oregano

real sea salt

ground black pepper

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375.

1. Spread onions across the bottom of a roasting pan or dutch oven.

2. Generously salt and pepper the cavity of the bird (make sure to take out any giblets first). Stuff cavity with garlic cloves, 2 Tbs of butter, and both halves of the lemon. Place bird upside down on top of onions in pan.

3. Brush outside of bird with 3 Tbs of melted butter. Sprinkle oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper over the outside of the bird.

4. Bake in 375 degree oven, uncovered, for 1 hour.

5. Carefully turn bird over, brush again with remaining melted butter and some salt and pepper. Bake for another hour. (If skin starts to get too brown, cover with lid or foil.)

6. After baking, let bird rest for 10 – 15 minutes before moving to a cutting board to carve.
