- 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 2 (4- to 5-lb.) whole chickens
- 2 lemons, halved
- 2 fresh rosemary sprigs

- Sprinkle 1/2 tsp. salt mixture inside cavity of each chicken. Place 2 lemon halves and 1 rosemary sprig inside cavity of each chicken. Rub 1 1/2 tsp. olive oil into skin of each chicken. Sprinkle with remaining salt mixture; rub into skin. Tuck chicken wings under, if desired. Lightly grease a wire rack in a 17- x 12-inch jelly-roll pan with cooking spray. Place chickens, breast sides up and facing in opposite directions (for even browning), on wire rack.
