  • ¼ teaspoon marjoram
  • 4-6 pound roasting chicken
  • 4 cloves garlic, cut in half

Method

Heat oven to 350 degrees. 

In bowl combine oil, lemon juice, salt, thyme, rosemary and marjoram. Set aside.

Remove fat from chicken cavity opening. Place garlic in cavity. Set chicken in roasting pan (do not place on rack). Brush chicken with oil and herb mixture.
