Instructions

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) with a rack in the center position.

Stuff the chicken cavity with the quartered lemon and rosemary sprig.

Season the chicken generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Place the chicken breast-side up on a rimmed baking sheet or in a small roasting pan.

Roast the chicken in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165°F (74°C), approximately 2.5 to 3 hours.

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes.

Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C).

Carefully remove the skin from the chicken, using a paring knife if necessary.

Place the skin on a clean, rimmed baking sheet.

Roast the skin in the oven until it turns deep golden brown and becomes crispy, about 10 to 15 minutes.

While the skin crisps, carve the chicken meat into serving pieces.

Arrange the carved chicken on a serving platter.

Remove the crispy skin from the oven and crumble it over the sliced chicken.

Drizzle the chicken with any juices from the roasting pan.

Sprinkle with fresh parsley leaves and flaky sea salt, if desired.

Serve with additional lemon wedges on the side.

💡 Chef's Tip

For best results, ensure the chicken is thoroughly dried before roasting to achieve maximum crispiness.
