  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  3. Rub the herb mixture all over the chicken, including under the skin.
  4. Stuff the chicken cavity with lemon halves and onion quarters.
  5. Place the chicken in a roasting pan and surround it with halved baby potatoes.

  • Add carrots or other root vegetables for variety.
  • Basting the chicken halfway through cooking helps keep it moist.
