4 servings
- 1 whole chicken (3.5–4 lb)

- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 lemon, halved
For the cavity

- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
For the pan
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the chicken thoroughly dry with paper towels — the drier the skin, the better it will brown.
