Ingredients

1 (4 pound) whole chicken
1 medium lemon
1 small onion, quartered
1 medium head garlic, halved lengthwise
½ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 tablespoon Honey, strained or extracted
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Set a roasting rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. Pat chicken dry with paper towels.
Zest 1 teaspoon lemon zest into a small bowl. Quarter remaining lemon and place pieces inside chicken cavity along with onion and garlic.
Add mayonnaise, vinegar, honey, Worcestershire, and cayenne to the lemon zest; mix to combine. Rub mayonnaise mixture evenly all over the chicken and underneath the skin over the breast. Sprinkle chicken evenly with salt and pepper.
Roast in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 50 to 60 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Tent with foil halfway through cooking if too much browning occurs before internal temperature is reached. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
