Cooking instructions
Preheat oven to 220°C. Pat a 1.5 kg chicken dry and season with salt, pepper, and your choice of herbs. Stuff the cavity with a lemon, garlic, and herbs. Rub olive oil over the skin. Roast for 20 minutes, then lower the heat to 180°C and cook for 40-50 minutes, basting occasionally. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 75°C. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving.
