2.Cut the garlic crosswise in half and separate into cloves. Cut the lemon into 1-inch chunks. Stuff the chicken with the garlic, lemon, and fresh herbs. Tie the legs together. Twist the wings under the back so the neck skin is pinned in place. Rub the skin with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place in a roasting pan.
