Got the idea for this next recipe from here
Didn’t follow it 100% but got the inspiration from it. So thank you to whoever posted this recipe because you inspired me!
1 approximately 5 lb. chicken (mine was a little over)
4 Tbsp Olive oil
6 garlic cloves, Minced
about 1/2 cup chopped fresh dill
1 lemon, quartered
salt and pepper
Preheat your oven to 225 degrees.
In a smallish bowl, stir together the Olive oil
Minced Garlic
and the half cup of dill.
Grab a dutch oven and place chicken in pot
Quarter Lemon and place inside the bird
and place a couple of springs of fresh dill inside as well
Salt and pepper the chicken, then rub it with the olive oil, garlic, dill gently loosening the skin up from the breast and around the rest of the bird, and underneath.
and add a little more salt and pepper to taste
I cooked my chicken slow at 225 degrees. I come home for lunch around 2:30 and poped it in and cooked it low and slow for 3 hours then I get home around 6 and I raised the heat to 350 degrees, to crisp up the chicken and to make sure it’s cooked all the way through, that took about 30-45 minutes. (You can test this by piercing the chicken in the thickest part of the thigh. If the juices run clear, it’s done.) Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Carve the chicken, and serve.
