Prepare the chicken by seasoning it with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.

Let the chicken marinate for at least 20-30 minutes, or preferably overnight.

In a skillet, heat pork fat and add chopped onion, carrot, and garlic, cooking until softened.

Chop fresh parsley, basil, and green onions coarsely for the farofa.

Add the chopped herbs to the farofa mixture.

Season the farofa with salt and black pepper, ensuring it remains dry, as it will absorb moisture from the chicken later.

Stuff the farofa into the cavity of the marinated chicken, pressing it in tightly.

Tie the chicken legs together with string to secure the stuffing inside.

Fold the tips of the chicken wings behind its back to prevent them from drying out during cooking.

Rub the chicken with more pork fat to help it brown nicely.

Place the chicken in the oven at 180-200°C (approximately 350-400°F) to roast.

After roasting, check that the chicken is golden and the juices run clear when pierced.

Serve the chicken with the farofa, ensuring the farofa is moist and flavorful from the chicken's juices.
