1 lg whole chicken (2 kg)1 head garlic1 lemon1.5-2 tbsp extra virgin olive oilsea saltpepper bay leavesfresh herbs2 lg onions
Preheat the oven to highest setting. Peel 8-10 cloves of garlic. Roughly chop the onions and scatter onion and garlic on the bottom of a roasting pan. Rinse the chicken and trim excess fat, skin, etc. Place the chicken breast-side up on the onions and garlic. Prick the lemon with a sharp knife and microwave for 30 seconds. Stuff lemon, herbs and remaining garlic and onion into the cavity. Drizzle the chicken with olive oil and rub salt and pepper into the skin. Place the pan in the oven and immediately turn down to 180 degree celcius. Cook the chicken for 20 minutes/500g, adding an extra 20 minutes at the end. Baste the bird occasionally with the juices in the pan. The chicken is done when juices run clear and leg-joints are loose. Let the bird rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.
