Mix the garlic and lemon juice together and rub it all over the chicken, also under the skin

If you want, you can tie the legs together with kitchen twine to help the chicken cook more evenly

The chicken should be roasted in an oven that has already been heated for about an hour and thirty minutes, or until the juices run clear and a meat thermometer reads 165F 75C inside the chicken

When the chicken is done, take it out of the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes

Afterward, cut it into pieces
