- Stuff the cavity of the chicken with the quartered onion and a few sprigs of fresh rosemary.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy.
- Once it’s done, let it rest for about 10 minutes before carving to keep all those juicy flavors locked in.
