1 roasting chicken
1/2 lemon
1/2 onion, quartered
3 cloves garlic, peeled
1/4 cup butter
1/8 cup spices (see mixtures below)
1 cup white wine (or chicken broth)
water
Move your oven rack to the bottom level, and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Remove giblets from inside cavity, if applicable. Rinse and pat dry inside and out. put lemon, onion, and garlic into cavity. rub outside of chicken with butter and sprinkle spices all over. Place onto roasting rack in a pan, pour wine or broth into pan, and place in oven for 1 hour 45 minutes. Check every half hour to make sure the liquid in the bottom pan hasn't evaporated. Add water as needed to keep a layer of liquid. Remove from oven and let rest 15 minutes.
