Seasoning Mix:
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
Instructions:
-
Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 450°F (232°C) and select the Broil or Top Heat mode.
-
Prepare the chickens: Start by removing the innards from each chicken and rinsing the cavity under cold water. Pat the chickens dry thoroughly with paper towels.
-
Prepare the seasoning: In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried rosemary, dried oregano, and dried basil. Mix well.
-
Season the chicken: Gently loosen the skin covering the chicken breast, being careful not to tear it. Rub a portion of the seasoning mix underneath the skin onto the meat. Then, rub the remaining seasoning mix all over the outside of the chicken.
-
Stuff with lemons: Squeeze some lemon juice into the cavity of each chicken. Then, stuff the cavity with the sliced lemons and the remaining whole lemons.
-
Truss the chicken: Tuck the wings under the legs of each chicken. Tie the legs together with a piece of dampened kitchen twine to secure the shape.
-
Prepare the rotisserie: If using a rotisserie, thread the chickens onto the skewer, ensuring they are securely fastened.
-
Roast the chicken: Place the chickens in the preheated oven and roast for 20 minutes. Remember to place a drip pan underneath to catch any drippings.
-
Reduce the heat: After 20 minutes, lower the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C). Continue roasting the chickens for the remainder of the cooking time, approximately 50 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.
-
Rest and Serve: Once cooked, remove the chickens from the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes before carving. Serve hot with your favorite sides and enjoy!
