j.bear's favorite -- what to do with that $.99/lb bird

A whole chicken? Really....
Turkeys are good prices now too.

So, in a floured oven bag rest your clean bird.

Rub the outside with:
3 Tbl Olive Oil
3 Tb. Lemon juice (the juice of the lemon you grated if want a more citrus Greek bird)
2 minced garlic clove
1 Tb. crushed rosemary leaves

Stuff the inside with:
4 peeled garlic cloves
1 sliced lemon
2 rosemary sprigs

Cook as directed; remove sprigs, citrus, and cloves before serving.
You'll be surprised at how little the bird absorbs the garlic, but it flavors the skin marvelously. The olive oil will roast the bird to a rich carmel that any mother-in-law would be impressed at.
