Poultry seasoning*

Preheat oven to 250º.

Rinse out chicken, remove gizzards, etc., pat dry. Place in roasting pan**, breast side up.

Squeeze lemon juice from lemon wedges over the top. Fill chicken cavity with lemon rinds, onion, and garlic. Generously apply olive oil all over the top and sprinkle with parsley and poultry seasoning.

Bake for 5 hours. The last 20 minutes of roasting, turn oven to 425º for a crispy skin.
