Whole baked chicken

T and I buy organic chicken's at Costco. I highly recommend getting them. They are great to throw in the freezer and cook up on a weekend. Plus you will definitely have leftovers.

Ingredients:
- 1 whole chicken
- fresh rosemary
- 1 lemon
- 3 garlic cloves
- butter
- salt & pepper

Directions:
Clean chicken and bull out gizzards (if any). Pat dry.

Peel garlic and smash cloves with a spoon. Place at the bottom of your cooking dish. Place chicken, breast side up on top of garlic cloves.

Cut lemon into fourths. Put 2 slices of lemon inside chicken, followed by a few stems of rosemary, then the final 2 slices of lemon.

Melt 2 Tbs of butter. Baste chicken with butter. Add salt and pepper to the outside of chicken.

Place a piece of foil over the chicken so the skin won't burn.

Put in oven on 350* until cooked. We usually cook it about 1.5 hours, but it depends on the size of chicken you have. Cut open breast to make sure it's thoroughly cooked.
