Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Combine lemon-pepper, garlic salt, black pepper, thyme, and salt in a bowl. Set aside. Slice 2 lemons into rounds for stuffing; reserve 1 for juice.
- Place both chickens in a roasting pan, not touching. Squeeze 1 lemon over both chickens, making sure juice coats evenly. Split sliced lemons, celery, green onions, and garlic in half and stuff each chicken. Use cooking string to tie legs together, making sure legs are facing up. Pat dry rub all over chickens.
- Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Rotate the pan and baste chicken with juices. Continue to bake, basting often, for 50 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and continue to baste and bake until juices run clear and chickens are no longer pink in the centers, about 40 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

SALT AND PEPPER ROAST CHICKEN WITH LEMON DRESSING
I roast whole chicken using Jacques Pepin's classic method, in a large cast-iron skillet, but a small roasting pan or shallow, wide Dutch oven works as well of course. The chicken should be roasted on its sides primarily to ensure the juiciness of the breast meat and expose the back and dark meat more evenly to the heat of the oven. Lemon sauce or salmoriglio is an ancient Sicilian sauce that can be used as a marinade and/or as a dressing for any protein, chicken, steak or fish, whether roasted or grilled. The root of the sauce's name is salamoia, which means salty brine, so it's perfectly named to serve and pair with this dry-brined simple chicken.

Steps:
- For the salt and pepper roast chicken: Liberally season the chicken inside and out with kosher salt and pepper. Refrigerate the chicken uncovered on lowest shelf of fridge in a rimmed pan or dish overnight or up to 24 hours and a minimum of 1 hour.
- For the lemon dressing: Heat a medium cast-iron or heavy skillet over medium-high heat, then sear the lemons cut-side down to caramelize them and sweeten juices, about 4 minutes. Remove lemons from the skillet, add 1/4 cup EVOO and reduce heat a bit. Add shallots and garlic and stir 5 to 6 minutes to soften, then add 1/4 cup water and let it absorb. Turn off heat and cool mixture a bit to room temp. Place cooled mixture in a medium glass bowl and add the juice of the lemons, lemon zest, oregano, red pepper flakes and parsley. Whisk in remaining 3/4 cup EVOO to form a thick dressing.
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F, rack at center. Roast the chicken in the skillet on one side for 20 minutes, then turn to opposite side and roast 20 minutes more. Finally turn the chicken on its back (breast-side up), spoon juices over the skin, and continue to roast for 15 to 20 minutes or until the chicken registers 160 to 165 degrees F. Rest bird and carve, then serve with sauce to pass and crusty bread.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh lemons, peppers, and herbs will give your sandwiches the best flavor.
- Roast your own peppers: Roasting peppers brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. If you don't have time to roast your own, you can use jarred roasted peppers.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts can dry out quickly, so be sure to cook them over medium heat until they are just cooked through.
- Use a good quality bread: A sturdy bread will hold up to the fillings and won't get soggy. Ciabatta, focaccia, or baguette are all good choices.
