Roasted Lemon chicken recipe

does anyone have a recipe for something like this - for one of those small chickens you put in the oven?

I am thinking of making something like this for easter

I usually just cut lemons and onions, squeeze the lemons on top of the chicken, sprinkle salt and pepper on top, bottom and inside the chicken, stick the lemons and onions inside the chicken and let it cook. Then maybe 20 minutes before it's done (check package for pound/time info) I rub butter and squeeze more lemon on top.

I put a tiny bit of water in the bottom plus put a little olive oil on the chicken first so it doesn't stick. If the chicken is lemony you'll smell it. If not just squeeze more lemon on top. My mom puts lemon slices in between the skin and the breast but I'm a fatty who lives for crispy skin and it doesnt get crispy like that!

Ina Garten has a good recipe for roasted chicken. I use hers as a general recipe and change it up according to what i have in the house. You don't really need to add any liquid, it will give off plenty of juices. I would recommend buying a cheap meat thermometer, they are definitely worth it! Good luck.

Oh he'll never know! Just don't serve it with the lemons! I got a roasting chicken on sale this week for 79 cents a pound so this is definitely on the menu next week!
