Directions

  1. Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

  2. Place chicken into a roasting pan and insert lemon halves into the cavity, spread kosher salt over outside of chicken.

  3. Roast in the preheated oven until skin is browned and crisp, the juices run clear, and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh, not touching bone, reads 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), about 1 hour. Let chicken rest for 15 minutes before carving.
