Great roast chicken! We loved the flavor from the garlic, lemon and thyme. I made this as written....wonderful recipe! My pic is not, of course, as beautiful as yours but I'm posting it anyway Thanks so much Sue for another keeper.

We really enjoyed this chicken, and I really enjoyed its ease of preparation. The chicken came out very moist and flavorful. Made exactly as directed!

I used butter here, and I didn't have the lemons, so I stuffed the chicken with other aromatics I had on hand like shallots and carrots with garlic cloves and fresh basil stalks/chopped leaves instead of rosemary. I used orange-seasoned sea salt on top and got great color. The cooking directions were just perfect for my almost 4 lb bird. I got a magazine-beautiful, delicious, crispy golden skin and super-moist, flavorful chicken. Mouth-watering, easy, and flexible to adaptation!

An absolutely simple, easy and delicious dish. I cooked 2 chickens for 5 people and the whole lot was quickly finished! Thanks very much Sue!

Wonderful! I used this recipe as directed, except I did not have fresh rosemary, therefore I used dried. I roasted a 4.5 lbs. chicken and it turned out so great, moist and tender. I love the flavor that the lemon and garlic imparted to the meat. I have frozen the meat for use later in recipes. The carcass is in the crockpot and I type, cooking to be made into stock tomorrow! Thanks Sue L!

This was great, fall off the bone tender and full of flavor. I made it in a crock pot on low for 10hours I then stuck it in a 500' (didn't even bother to pre-heat) oven so that the skin would brown nicely.

FANTASTIC. The best roast chicken I've ever tried (: The meat was tender and juicy and moist, and very very flavourful. Will definitely definitely make it again.

This was my first time making a roast chicken and it turned out very juicy and full of flavor. I tossed some whole new potatoes into the roasting pan and they cooked well with the herbs and juices. Thanks for the recipe!
