Ingredients
Scale
- 1/3 cup Liokareas lemon olive oil
- 1 organic roasting chicken, 4 or 5 lbs
- 1 tbsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp rubbed sage
- 2 lemons, one quartered and de-seeded, and one zested and juiced
- 1 sprig of fresh rosemary
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a small bowl, whisk together salt, black pepper, and sage, and set aside.
- Pat the chicken dry and rub Liokareas Lemon Olive Oil into the skin. Yes: rub it in all over the bird. Put the three of the lemon quarters in the cavity with the rosemary.
- Quickly dust the bird generously all over with the spice and salt mix and put it into the oven.
- Do not disturb the bird for 40 minutes, at which point insert a thermometer into the thigh joint. The chicken is done when the thermometer reaches 165 degrees.
- Sprinkle lemon zest on the chicken and let rest in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes before carving and placing on a platter. Squeeze the remaining ¼ lemon over the serving platter and serve.
