πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Line a baking sheet with foil.

Roll the lemon and cut in half lengthwise.

Slice one half into quarters and set the other half aside for baking and basting.

Cut onion into 4 pieces; slice one piece and sprinkle on the prepared baking sheet.

Set remaining onion pieces aside.

Mix garlic salt, sage, turmeric, basil, rosemary, and pepper together until well combined; divide evenly into 2 bowls.

Rinse chicken in cold water and dry off.

Trim and discard excess fat and separate skin from meat.

Stuff inside of the chicken with arugula, 4 lemon slices, 3 onion pieces, and garlic cloves.

Tie the legs together with twine.

Spread 2 tablespoons ghee underneath the skin and another 2 tablespoons ghee on top of the skin, all over the chicken.

Add 2 tablespoon ghee and butter to one bowl of spices.

Microwave for 45 seconds.

Stir and spread underneath the skin.

Microwave remaining 1 tablespoon ghee and brush on top of skin.

Sprinkle remaining seasoning all over chicken and pat into the skin; do not rub.

Lightly squeeze some of the remaining lemon half on top of chicken and place chicken, breast-side up, on the onion slices on the baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour and 30 minutes, basting with juices and remaining lemon juice every 30 minutes.

An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing, continuing to baste.
