Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 4 hours
Course: Main Course

Ingredients

  • 2 3 lb Whole Chickens
  • 7 Garlic Cloves, chopped
  • Zest of 1 Lemon
  • Zest of 1 Orange
  • 2 Tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
  • 1 Tbsp Fresh Lemon or Orange Juice
  • 2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a small bowl, combine garlic, zests, parsley, juice, and oil and set aside.
  • Thoroughly rinse and pat dry the chickens. Generously rub the mixture inside and outside of chicken. Place onion and/or lemon inside the cavity. Place chickens, breast side up on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Tuck wings under chicken and tie drumsticks together.
  • Bake uncovered for 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until a thermometer inserted reads 180 degrees. Baste occasionally with pan drippings. (Cover loosely with foil if chicken browns too quickly). Cover and let stand for 10 minutes before carving.
