INSTRUCTIONS
2 Trim excess fat from chicken, and place, breast side up, on a rack in a broiler pan. Squeeze juice of 1 lemon half over chicken and remaining lemon half into chicken cavity. Place lemon halves and rosemary in cavity. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Bake at 250° for 4 hours. Makes 6 to 8 servings. Rules for Roasting Roasting chicken at a high temperature (450°) for a short time, then lowering the temperature for the remaining cooking time seals in the juices and keeps the chicken moist and tender. While you can also roast a broiler-fryer with good results, chickens specifically for roasting are labeled "roasting broilers." These birds generally weigh more and are meatier and more succulent. If you are roasting a broiler-fryer (which normally weighs approximately 3 pounds), decrease baking time by about 45 minutes. Let roasted chicken stand for 10 minutes after removing it from the oven. This standing time "sets" the juices and makes for a more flavorful bird. Roast chicken on a rack in a broiler pan so fat can drip off and away from the bird.
