I got this recipe from my friend Mike Marshall. It's so easy and delicious!
1 whole chicken, 4-5 lbs (I use organic chicken - I know it costs more, but it seems to make a difference.)
1 lemon, quartered
fresh thyme
kosher salt
Preheat the oven to 350.
Wash the chicken and pat it completely dry. You want it as dry as possible so that it doesn't steam. Stuff the lemons and several bunches of thyme into the cavity. Put the chicken into a roasting pan (I line it with aluminum foil.) Sprinkle kosher salt all over the top, like a crust.
Roast the chicken for 60-70 minutes, depending on your oven. You want the internal temp to reach 155.
Remove the chicken, tent it with foil, and let it continue to cook for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Could it be any easier?
