Whole Chicken - Lemon Pepper & Garlic Style

Mind you, this is my second attempt cooking a whole chicken. It was okay first time around, but I feel much more confident about posting my recipe this time as I have learned a few tricks! This came out nicely browned and very juicy.

INGREDIENTS
1 whole chicken 4-6 pounds (defrosted)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 whole lemons
garlic powder
lemon pepper seasoning
1 cup chicken broth
baking dish

DIRECTIONS
1) Preheat oven at 375 degrees.

2) In the sink, rinse your chicken and take out all the giblets inside. Place breast side up in baking dish.

3) Slice 1/2 of one of the lemons into rings and set aside. With the rest of the lemons slice and squeeze juice all over lemon. Next pour the olive oil onto the chicken and massage oil and lemon juice onto the poultry.

4) Clean hands, and take seasoning and sprinkle generously around the entire chicken, don't forget under those little wings!

5) Add one up of broth to the dish. Next, take the slices of lemon and add a few to the top of the bird and stuff the rest inside.

6) Cover the entire dish with foil and make a few slits to vent. Place in the oven to cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes. After the allotted time cooking, take off the foil and let it cook for an hour more, or it reaches 180 degrees. It should be browned nicely.

7) Take out and let sit for a good 10 minutes before carving...it will be very hot!
