JON'S FAMOUS LEMON CHICKEN
       Get some lemons.
       Either roll them around on the counter with some force to loosen them up and then stab them multiple times
OR
       cut them into quarters
THEN
put as many/as much as you can inside the chicken.
       Salt and pepper as you wish and pour some lemon juice and honey over the chicken.
       Roast at 325 till done, about 18-22 minutes per pound. Basting with the juices is a good idea.
