1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
2
In a bowl, mix together the dried rosemary, coarse sea salt, black pepper, zest and juice from the lemon, chopped onion, and olive oil to create a marinade.
3
Pat the chicken dry, and generously brush it with the marinade, making sure to get into all nooks and crannies.
4
Position the chicken in a roasting pan, breast-side up.
5
Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until the juices run clear when pierced with a knife- this means your chicken is done.
6
Remove from oven and let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving. This ensures the juices redistribute within the chicken, keeping it moist.
7
In the meantime, remove excessive oil from the roasting pan and place it over medium heat on the stovetop. Pour in the water and bring to a boil, while scraping the base to collect all those flavorful bits.
8
Reduce the mixture to about half, creating a thickened sauce. Adjust salt and pepper as needed.
9
Serve the roast chicken drizzled with the pan sauce.
