I got an organic free range chicken from Trader Joe's, because I figured that is what she would use. The chicken was very moist and tasty. I was unsure about roasting it at 425, usually I do 325 for roasting poultry. This temperature worked great and didn't dry out the finished product. However, I found the same issue with this recipe as the original. The flavor was too lemony. I like lemon, but this was just overpowering. The pan sauce would have been very good, except for the strong lemon flavor. I would make this recipe again, using only one lemon and putting it inside the bird. I don't keep track of how long it takes me to make a recipe, because I am very slow, especially when making something for the first time. Also this was made on Tuesday with many interruptions from a little one.
I'll have to try this Thanks for the suggestion of cutting back on the lemon.
