Whole chicken in the oven
Description
The recipe won't take much time. To make the bird not only tasty but also aromatic, I suggest preparing a garlic-lemon sauce with dried herbs. In addition, adding butter will give it juiciness and a crispy crust. Of course, you can always experiment with sauces and use a variety of vegetables for stuffing. Serve hot.
