  3. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and minced garlic.
  4. Rub the herb and garlic mixture all over the chicken, making sure to get some under the skin of the breast.
  5. Place the chicken in a roasting pan.
  6. Squeeze the juice of one lemon half over the chicken and place the remaining lemon half inside the chicken cavity.
  7. Roast for 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.
