Three-Lemon Chicken

I also forgot to take a picture!! We made the chicken over the weekend. It was my first time making a whole chicken and I was happy my mom was here to guide me along. It wasn't hard and I'm sure I could have figured it out myself, but it was nice to have someone looking over my shoulder to make sure I didn't screw the whole thing up. We made some grilled artichokes to go with it. It was delicious - it stayed very moist and the flavors were excellent. I really liked the freshness of the lemon, especially mixed with the rosemary and the roasted garlic. I didn't have any string to tie the bird up, but it still turned out really moist. My only complaint was that it was kind of a pain to roast the garlic first and then make the rest of the recipe. I roasted the garlic in the oven, rather than on the grill. Now we have lots of leftovers and there's lots of different things to do with it. Today I made a lettuce wrap with peppers, chicken and pesto and it was delish!
