Ingredients:

• 1 whole chicken (approximately 3 1/2 pounds)
• 2 lemons
• 1/2 cup Greek Vinaigrette Dressing

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Prepare Chicken: Remove the giblets from the chicken, then wash the chicken thoroughly and pat it dry with paper towels.
3. Season Chicken: Season the skin and cavity of the chicken with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
4. Place Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken in a 13 x 9 inch baking pan, ensuring it fits comfortably.
5. Prepare Lemon Mixture: Take one of the lemons and roll it on the countertop to loosen the juice. Cut the lemon in half, then squeeze the juice from one half into a small glass mixing bowl. Add the Greek Vinaigrette Dressing to the bowl and blend the mixture well.
6. Stuff Chicken: Insert the squeezed lemon half and the remaining lemon halves into the cavity of the chicken.
7. Pour Dressing Mixture: Slowly pour the prepared dressing mixture over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
8. Roast Chicken: Place the pan with the chicken in the preheated oven and roast for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the juices run clear when the chicken is pierced with a fork.
9. Baste Periodically: While the chicken is roasting, baste it periodically with the juices from the bottom of the pan to keep it moist and flavorful.
