    What is the purpose of the lemon?
    Community Answer
    It steams inside the cavity, keeping the meat moist as it cooks, and it imparts some citrus flavor.

    Yes, I do mine by inserting an onion instead of the lemon, but you don’t have to use anything.

  • Question
    Why would a kosher chicken be the juiciest?
    Community Answer
    Kosher chickens are brined (soaked in salt water), and thus have more liquid absorbed into the meat.

  • Question
    Should I cook the chicken before roasting?

    No, roasting the chicken will cook it. If you cook it beforehand and then roast it, you will probably end up with a very overcooked (tough) or burned chicken.
