- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lemon, quartered

- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, tarragon, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Rub the herb mixture all over the chicken, including under the skin for extra flavor.
- Stuff the cavity of the chicken with the quartered lemon and onion.
- Place the chicken breast-side up in a roasting pan and pour the chicken broth around the base.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the juices run clear.
