Roast Chicken with Lemon and Thyme

As with any simple dish, the quality of the ingredients for this classic Tuscan supper must be as superb as possible. Serve this chicken with simple sides such as garlic roasted potatoes and braised greens. Pour a young red wine, such as Rosso di Montepulciano, or a crisp white, such as Tuscan Chardonnay.
