Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 ounces rosemary sprigs (about 2 large or 4 small bunches), divided
2 4-pound chickens
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons honey
2 lemons, 1 halved, 1 sliced into eight 1/4" rounds
1 pound shallots, peeled
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a large roasting pan with 3/4 of rosemary sprigs. Place chickens on top.
  • Whisk 1/2 cup oil, lemon juice, and honey in a small bowl to blend. Using your hands and beginning at the neck end of chicken, gently lift skin away from breast. Under skin of each chicken, rub 1/4 cup lemon mixture into meat. Drizzle remaining lemon mixture all over outside of chickens.
  • Place 1 lemon half and 1 shallot inside each chicken cavity; stuff with remaining rosemary sprigs, dividing equally. Season chickens all over with salt and pepper. Place remaining shallots around chickens; arrange 4 lemon rounds on top of each chicken. Drizzle shallots and lemon rounds with remaining 2 tablespoons oil.
  • Roast chickens, basting frequently with pan juices, for 45 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 425°F and continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165°F and skin is deep golden and crispy, about 10 minutes longer.
  • Spoon pan juices over chickens, shallots, and lemon slices and serve in roasting pan.

This was the best roast chicken I've ever had. The skin was crispy and golden brown, and the meat was tender and juicy. The rosemary, lemon, and honey marinade gave it an amazing flavor.
