tray in the lower rack position A; add ¼ cup water to the pan and lightly
coat the broiling rack with cooking spray .
Rub chicken skin with olive oil and lemon juice . Combine the thyme, salt
and pepper . Rub half the mixture in the cavity of the chicken and half on
the skin of the chicken . Place the thyme sprig, garlic halves, onion
quarters and lemon zest on the prepared pan . Arrange the seasoned
chicken on top of the vegetables and herbs, place in toaster oven and
roast for 20 minutes, then lower the temperature to 350ºF and continue
to roast for another 20 to 25 minutes . (Internal temperature of the
chicken should be 170ºF when tested in the breast, and 180ºF when
tested in the dark meat; juices should run clear .)
Turn off oven and remove the chicken to a platter . Let stand 10 to 15
minutes before carving . Cover loosely with foil if desired (but skin will
lose its crispness) .
