Time 1h40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (3 -4 lb) whole broiler-fryer chickens
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 tablespoon seasoning (use what you like I use Italian you can eyeball this)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper (regular pepper just doesn't give it that 'zing')

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375°.
In a mixing bowl stir together lemon juice, olive oil & pepper. Set aside.
Rinse chicken; pat dry.
Starting at the edge of the breast, slip your fingers between the skin and meat, loosening the skin as you work toward the neck end. With your entire hand under the skin, carefully free the skin around the thigh and leg area up to, but not around, the tip of the drumsticks.
Using your hands, carefully stuff the feta cheese under the skin, filling the drumstick-thigh area first, working up to the breast. Press gently on the skin to distribute the feta cheese throughout the space underneath the chicken skin.
Rub the lemon-oil mixture over entire bird.
Place chicken, breast side up, on a broiler pan.
Roast uncovered for 1 ¼ - 1 ¾ hours or until drumsticks move easily and meat is no longer pink.
Remove chicken from oven. Loosely cover with foil and let stand 5 minutes before carefully you cut up chicken.
