LEMON- AND GARLIC-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH FAVA BEANS, RADISHES, AND PECORINO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Place chickens on rack set in large roasting pan. Starting at each cavity end, slide hand between skin and breast meat to loosen, being careful not to tear skin. Arrange lemon slices under skin to cover breast meat.

Transfer chickens to carving board and tent with foil to keep warm.

Stir in lemon juice and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil.
