Having it tonight because of scheduling issues, but it's just as
easy to make on a Saturday. You will need:

1 whole chicken, about 2.5kg
1 lemon
1/3 cup of olive oil
1/3 cup of balsamic vinegar
2-3 tbsp. of crumbled feta cheese
four thin slices of leek, chopped

Preheat oven to 175C (350 F).

Extract the juice from the lemon, set rinds aside, strain lemon
juice to remove seeds. In measuring cup, add oil, vinegar, lemon
juice, feta cheese and chopped leek.

Stuff lemon halves into chicken, close with means at your
disposal.

Pour misxture over chicken, place in oven.

After an hour, check on temperature and baste once.

I like mine well cooked, until white meat attains 82 C (180 F).

Remove chicken from oven when done, let stand 5 minutes.

Serve with favourite vegetables. I like braised Brussel sprouts
but tonight we're having it with corn on the cob and a "half-
Caesar" salad. That's a salad that only has some of the
ingredients of a Caesar salad: one egg, some olive oil, some
lemon juice and I add a tablespoon of Dijon mustard, whisk until
it achieves a creamy consistency. Pour over crisp torn Romaine
lettuce.
