This is the best Roasted Chicken I have ever tasted,so much flavor!!

1 Whole Chicken (I do 2 for my family of 4)washed inside and out, patted dry,season with S&P inside cavity,cover and let rest in fridge for about an hour
While chicken rest you will prepare other ingredients.

Vegetables: 4 or 5 Red potatoes cut in fourths.
1 whole onion cut in rings
bag of baby carrots.
cut and place in the bottom of a roasting pan.

Chicken: after chicken has rested: cut 1 lemon in half (if cooking 2 chickens just double these ingredients)
1 head of Garlic,unpeeled and cut in half
1/2 onion,unpeeled and cut in half
1 lemon cut in half.
Stuff all ingredients in chicken place chicken on top of veggies.

melt 1 cube of butter and brush all over chicken and pour the remaining on veggies.
salt and pepper liberally. Place chicken in oven and bake for about 1hour and a half or until juices run clear when pricked with a knife (between leg and breast). Remove chicken and cover with foil and place veggies back in oven for 15 to 20 min.until golden brown.
