👩‍🍳 Instructions (The AI's Game Plan)

🎯 Follow along with our AI chef's step-by-step adventure. Results may vary wildly!

1

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

⏱️ 10 min (ish) 🌡️ 400°F

AI Wisdom: Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the chicken in.
2

Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Season the cavity generously with salt and pepper. Stuff the cavity with minced garlic, lemon slices, and rosemary sprigs.

⏱️ 10 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Seasoning the cavity adds flavor to the chicken from the inside.
3

Tie the chicken legs together with kitchen twine. Tuck the wings behind the back.

⏱️ 5 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Tying the legs helps the chicken cook more evenly.
4

Rub the outside of the chicken with olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper. Squeeze lemon juice over the chicken.

⏱️ 5 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: The olive oil helps crisp up the skin while the lemon adds brightness.
5

Place the chicken on a roasting pan breast side up. Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.

⏱️ 60 min (ish) 🌡️ 400°F

AI Wisdom: Baste the chicken with pan juices halfway through cooking for a juicy result.
6

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving.

⏱️ 15 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist.
