- Ensure that the chicken is at room temperature before you start cooking to ensure even cooking.
- Zest the lemons before you cut and juice them to make the most out of their flavor.
- For extra crispy skin, pat the chicken dry with paper towels before applying the oil and seasoning.
- Don't skimp on the thyme; you can even slide some underneath the skin for an added burst of flavor.
- Let the chicken rest for at least 10-15 minutes after roasting before carving to allow the juices to redistribute.

This delightful and fragrant dish is easy to make but offers a restaurant-quality experience at home.
