Insert one big sprig of rosemary under the skin of each breast and thigh.

Wash hands after handling the chicken.

Cut both ends off the fresh lemon and place it inside the cavity of the chicken.

Push preserved lemons under the skin of the chicken, letting the salt fall out.

Place the chicken in the oven and roast until the internal temperature reaches 165°F in the thigh meat, approximately 1.5 hours.

Remove any lemon pieces from under the skin before serving.

Cut the chicken diagonally to serve, ensuring each piece has skin.
