modern roast chicken

This chicken is so flavorful and moist, you don't even need gravy.

1 5-6 lb whole chicken, innards removed
3 tbsp dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic, minced
juice of 1 lemon (reserve used lemon halves)
4 rosemary sprigs, whole

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Rinse chicken inside and out and pat dry. Loosen, but do not remove, skin covering chicken breast. Mix mustard, garlic, and lemon together, and place mustard mixture under skin, evenly coating meat under skin. Place one rosemary sprig under skin over each breast and rub outside of chicken with olive oil. Place lemon halves and remaining rosemary sprigs into chicken cavity. Place in a baking dish and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until juices from the thigh run clear. Let stand 10 minutes before carving to allow juices to redistribute.
