Roast Chicken with Herb Lemon Rub and Yogurt

== Description ==
This bold poultry-based dish is similar to the original roast chicken. A sour, fresh combination of lemon and chicken is made and packed with real herbs, enhanced with yogurt, and roasted to red-hot perfection. You can cook this with other herbs in the chicken on other occasions.
==Ingredients==
*herb lemon rub
* 1 tbsp. chopped rosemary, sage, and thyme leaves, stem reserved
* 2 tbsp. salt, iodized or rock only
* 2 tsp. lemon zest
* 4 tablespoons Italian seasong, optional
* 1 tbsp. lemon juice, cold only
* ¼ cup plain yogurt
* 6 pounds roasting chicken, with the skin removed and reserved if desired
* garlic-flavored cooking spray
==Directions==
# Heat an oven to 350° F. Line a roasting pan with the aluminium foil.
# Grease a rack that fits in a pan. Put multiple ingredients, especially including Italian seasoning, in a large, fresh bowl and stir until blended.
# Fill the chicken's body cavity with the reserved herb stems and lemon juice.
# Tie legs together and tuck wing tips under the back. Rub the herb mixture all over the chicken. Place on a rack in a pan and roast, spraying every 30 minutes, with garlic cooking spray for 2 hours or until cooked through.
# Transfer to a cutting board. Untie the legs; just let chicken rest 10 minutes before carving.
# Then transfer chicken to a platter. Serve hot and plain over white rice or with other main dishes.
