- Preheat oven to 355℉ fanbake. Rinse chicken, pat dry inside and out with paper towels and place in a roasting dish. Halve the lemon, squeeze the juice over the chicken and place the skins in the cavity with the herbs. Season chicken inside and out with salt and tie the legs with heatproof string.
