3 3/4 teaspoons dried rosemary
1/3 cup dried thyme
2/3 teaspoon black peppercorns
4 garlic cloves
4 tablespoons white wine
1/3 cup water
1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1
Preheat the oven to 425u00b0F. Use a pair of strong kitchen scissors to snip off the tips of the wings. Cut off the parson's nose (tail) of the chicken.

Put the chicken in a roasting pan, season inside and out with salt, then rub with oil. Finely grate the lemon zest over the breast and legs.
3
Cut the lemon into pieces and place inside of the chicken.
4
Put the bay leaves, rosemary, thyme, and peppercorns into a small food processor or blender and process to a fine powder.

Rub the herb mixture over the chicken and push the unpeeled garlic cloves inside the chicken.
6
Roast the chicken, breast facing down, for 25 minutes.
7
Turn the chicken over and roast it for another 35 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
8
Remove the chicken and set aside to rest in a warm place. Place the roasting pan over medium-high heat on the stove top.
9
Pour in the wine and water, and loosen any sediment with a wooden spoon. Boil the cooking juices, bubbling them down to make a tasty gravy.
