Ingredients:

Serving

1 lemon
1 roasting chicken , about 5 lb
grated zest of 1 lemon , then lemon cut into quarters
grated zest of 1 orange , then orange cut into quarters
3 tbsp peeled and grated fresh ginger root
salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 tbsp margarine, melted , or olive oil
4 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
3 tbsp honey
orange sections for garnish

Directions:

Preheat an oven to 350ºF.
Cut the lemon into quarters. Rub the outside of the chicken with one of the lemon quarters, then discard. In a small bowl, stir together the lemon and orange zests and 1 tablespoon of the grated ginger. Rub this mixture evenly in the cavity. Put the lemon and orange quarters inside the bird. Place the chicken on a rack in a roasting pan. Sprinkle it with salt and pepper. In the now-empty small bowl, combine the melted margarine or olive oil, lemon and orange juices, honey, and the remaining 2 tablespoons ginger. Mix well.
Place the chicken in the oven and roast, basting with the citrus juice mixture at least 4 times during cooking, until the juices run clear when the thigh is pierced with a knife, about 1 hour.
Transfer to a serving platter and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Carve the chicken. Garnish with orange sections.
Variation: Use 4 tablespoons pomegranate juice in place of the lemon juice.
