2. 2. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Peel rind from lemon in strips. Halve lemon; set aside. Put rind into cavity with remaining garlic and thyme. Tie legs with twine; set chicken on a small roasting rack (see Foiled) in a roasting pan. Arrange turnip mixture around chicken; scatter with onions. Brush chicken with some herb butter.

Continue roasting until a thermometer inserted in chicken's thigh registers 165u0b0, 25-30 minutes. Transfer chicken to a platter; cover loosely with foil. Return vegetables to oven; roast until very tender, 18-20 minutes. Carve chicken (following steps in Carving Chicken), squeeze reserved lemon over top and serve with vegetabl
