Bergy, you're right, this is simplicity at it's best. Instead of roasting in the oven, I cooked this in my Showtime Rotisserie for an hour..."set it and forget it." Your suggestion to rub the cavity of the chicken with the marinade I believe really helped to infuse the flavors of the lemon and thyme into the bird. Next time I try this, and there will definately be a next time, I'll use my flavor injector needle to really get the marinade into the meat! You have a winner here!

Five out of Five people liked this recipe. I had to double the recipe because I roasted a six pound chicken. I also used my Showtime Rotisserie and injected the marinate right into the chicken. I served it with Spicy Potato Bumps posted by Dorothy Parks. Next time I will try your stuffing recipe.
