Ingredients

• 1 Giannone half chicken (about 2-3 pounds)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• salt (about 2 1/2 teaspoons) and black pepper
• 1 tablespoon garlic herb seasoning of choice
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• half a lemon, for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Lay the chicken on a baking sheet or in a roasting pan and pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
3. Rub/spray the chicken all over with olive oil, then season liberally with salt and pepper to taste. Add the thyme and garlic seasoning in an even layer.
4. Place the baking sheet with the chicken in the preheated oven and cook for 28-32 minutes. Remove the chicken from the oven and check to ensure the internal temperature has reached 155-160 degrees Fahrenheit in the breast (it will carryover cook).
5. Let the chicken rest for about 10 minutes, carve, then serve with freshly squeezed lemon!
