• Pat chicken dry and sprinkle salt on all sides and inside the cavity. Sprinkle with black pepper. Pluck the leaves from 1 spring of rosemary and sprinkle on the chicken. Place the other whole sprig inside the cavity along with garlic and lemon.
• Place the chicken on a roasting rack set inside a roasting pan.

ROSEMARY LEMON TWIN ROAST CHICKENS FOR THE GRILL

Steps:

• Early in the day unwrap chickens, remove giblets, and singe any pinfeathers.
• Place the chickens into a roasting pan (an 11x13 baking pan works well), nested together in opposite directions.
• Cut the lemons in half. Squeeze the juice all over the chickens, reserving the empty shells as you finish with them.
• Put half a lemon into each chicken's cavity.
• Twist each garlic clove a bit to crack it and release the flavor and put one into each chicken cavity. Put the other lemon halves into the cavities.
• Sprinkle the chickens with the dried rosemary. Refrigerate several hours to let the flavors permeate the meat.
• Turn on the grill's two end burners leaving the center burner unlit. Set the chicken pan in the center and close the lid.
• Adjust the flame so that the thermometer on the lid reaches and holds about 325-350.
• Let chickens cook for about about an hour, checking occasionally. Very carefully use a pair of tongs to lift each chicken and turn it around so that the legs that were toward the center are now towards the outside.
• Roast another 30-45 minutes or until the chicken is just barely cooked. Timing may vary due to individual grills' characteristics.
• Let sit for 10-15 minutes before serving so that the juices can settle.
• This makes very good cold chicken for sandwiches or chicken salad so don't hesitate to make the second chicken.
• Note: You could do this on a charcoal grill that has a lid but you will need a second grill to provide fresh coals and you will have to manage the coals carefully.
• While the chicken sits you might like to make Recipe #222171 and Recipe #231477 to complete the meal. :).

LEMON-ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Rinse chicken thoroughly with cold water, empty the cavity, and pat chicken dry with paper towels.
• Place chicken, breast-side down, into a roasting pan. Squeeze juice from 1 1/2 lemons over chicken.
• Mix salt and pepper together in a small bowl and spread mixture all over chicken using your hands.
• Roll 2 lemons on the countertop to soften them a bit. Puncture several times with a fork and cram into the cavity of the chicken.
• Place roasting pan in the preheated oven and lower temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Pull out chicken and turn over using wooden spoons or tongs. Return to the oven and continue to bake until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear when the thigh is pricked with a fork, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Let chicken rest for 10 minutes before serving. Cut remaining lemon into slices. Transfer chicken to a serving dish and garnish with lemon slices and fresh rosemary. Pour juices from the roasting pan over the chicken to make it super juicy.

Steps:

• Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with the remaining rosemary sprigs to make a rack for the chicken. Place stuffed chicken on top, sprinkle generously with salt and pepper, and drizzle with olive oil.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Continue to roast, basting every 15 minutes, until no longer pink in the center and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 1 hour more. Cover with foil and let rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
