Roasted Herb Chicken and Gravy image

This is the way I make my roasted chicken. I love it this way. It is savory , and succulent. It is seasoned with herbs,a hint of Lemon, Garlic, onion, white wine, and celery. it' is reminiscent of chicken soup flavor. The drippings make a great base for delicious chicken soup and gravy! Enjoy
