Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Place your chicken on a baking rack inside the roasting pan.

Pat the chicken dry.  Using a pastry brush, generously brush the inside and outside of the chicken with olive oil.

Lightly sprinkle pepper inside and outside of the chicken.

Thinly slice 1 lemon and place about 4-5 of those slices inside the cavity of the chicken. [The cavity is the hollow space of the chicken].

Add 1/4 tablespoon of thyme inside the cavity.

Coat the bottom of your roasting pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.  Line the pan with 1 lemon thinly sliced.

Using your pastry brush, lightly coat the chicken with crushed garlic.

In a large measuring cup squeeze 1 cup of lemon juice. Add 1 can of chicken broth. Mix well.

Pour mixture on the chicken.

Place in the oven for 15 minutes.

Lower oven temperature to 250°F and cook for 1 hour.

Remove the chicken from the oven. Take the second can of chicken broth and pour over the chicken.

Thinly slice an additional lemon and place on top and around the chicken. Add 1/4 cup of thyme and sprinkle on top and around the chicken as well.  (You can leave the thyme on the stem if you would like).

Place back in the oven for 45 minutes.

Remove the chicken from the oven and tightly cover so that the chicken doesn't dry out. Place back in the oven for an additional 30 minutes.
