Herb and Citrus Oven Roasted Chicken

It's a cold and snowy day in Pomfret?  I was home all day with the kids, so it was the perfect time to cook!  (actually, it always a perfect time to cook)  A light citrus taste.  Served with Pasta with Lemon and Garlic.  (my next posting)


Delicious!

4 minced garlic cloves
2 lemons:  one juiced and one sliced
