1

Preheat the oven to 450°F.
2

Wash the chicken and cavity with cool water and pat dry. Set on a rack on top of a roasting pan. Drizzle the chicken with olive oil all over and then season with garlic powder, salt and pepper — don’t forget to season in the cavity too.
3

Cut the lemon into four wedges and stuff into the cavity – peel and all. Stick the sprigs of rosemary in the cavity as well.
4

Slide the chicken into the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to 375 and roast for 45-55 minutes, until juices run clear.
5

Let sit for 15 minutes before carving.
