- Mix crushed garlic lemon juice, butter, and herbs. Here you can add any other herbs of your choice like thyme or rosemary.
- Pull the skin with hands and rub the butter mixture between skin and meat with hands. Press fingers in the meat to help the butter and herbs mixture reach deep inside the meat.
- Rub the butter and garlic with herbs mixture all over the chicken inside the skin.
- Fill the pocket of chicken with lemon along with fennel leaves.
- Stuff garlic head inside the chicken cavities. It will maximize the flavor.

- Drizzle olive oil generously, olive oil is healthy and the layer on skin makes it crispy.

- Slow the heat to 350 degrees and leave it in the oven for 1 to 1.5 hours or until the skin is brown and crispy
- Use a thermometer to check the temperature inside the meat. Put the temperature in the thick thigh part, and if it is 165, your chicken is ready.
