Ingredients

4-6 pound whole chicken
6 lemons
½ cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic minced
Kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Place the chicken into a large resealable bag or container.
In a medium bowl, juice the lemons (save the rinds), olive oil, garlic and salt and pepper to taste. Add to the chicken along with the reserved lemon rinds.
Cover and place in the fridge for 1-6 hours, turning or shaking every hour.
Fire up your Big Easy and get it up to temperature.
Remove the chicken from the marinade.
Shake off the excess and transfer the chicken to the Big Easy basket.
Cook until the chicken reaches at least 165 F as tested in several locations. Use 20 minutes/pound as your starting point.
Remove the basket from the Big Easy.
Remove the chicken and let rest 10 minutes before carving for serving.

Notes

Be careful removing the chicken from the basket as it will still be very hot.
