@denapitre46: Method: Pat the chicken completely dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Place garlic, herbs, and lemon inside the cavity. Rub the skin with softened butter and olive oil. Arrange onions and potatoes around the chicken in a roasting pan. Roast at high heat until the skin is crisp and golden and the juices run clear. Baste occasionally with the pan juices, then rest before carving.
