Garlic and Lemon Roast Chicken


A delicious and easy lemon roast chicken recipe. It's so simple to prepare and the lemon with garlic flavors the chicken meat beautifully. Of course you are not limited to these ingredients. As a whole chicken recipe this rates as one of the tastiest.


I encourage you to experiment with different herbs and flavour combinations. That's the beauty of roast chicken - you can try so many variations of cooking a whole chicken.
