Instructions: Preheat oven to 375. Salt and pepper cavity. Poke 20 holes in each lemon.

Place both lemons in cavity and close up the cavity with metal pins (is pins the right word??). This is important to keep the juice in the bird.

Salt and pepper the outside of the chicken. Place breast side down in roasting pan. Bake 30 minutes. Turn chicken to breast side up and cook another 30 minutes. Turn oven up to 425 and cook another 20-30 minutes (I usually cook for another 20 minutes). Chicken will get very puffy and golden in this last phase of cooking. You do not need to baste the chicken for this recipe.
