Roasted Chicken, Inspired By Norman Rockwell’S Freedom From Want
- 1 5-pound chicken
- 1 lemon, cut in half
- 3 cloves of garlic, sliced
- 1 bunch fresh thyme
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 large white onion, sliced thinly
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Preheat the oven to 400u0b0 F. Rinse the chicken well, removing giblets (save them in a freezer bag for a stock!), and pat it dry with paper towels. Place the chicken on a rack in a roasting pan. Stuff the cavity with lemon, garlic, and thyme. Brush the outside of the bird all over with melted butter, then add lots of salt and pepper. Scatter sliced onions all around the bottom of the pan.
- Roast chicken for 30 minutes. Lower heat to 350u0b0 F, and roast for an additional hour and a half. Remove chicken from the oven and let rest for at least 10 minutes before digging in.
