    Sprinkle a third of the salt into the cavity of the bird. Then stuff with garlic, lemon & herbs. Truss the bird and drizzle with oil. Sprinkle with the remaining salt and pepper. Cook bird for 1 hour 50 minutes at 375F. Raise the heat to 425F and cook for an additional 10 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into the center of the breast reads 163F degrees. Remove from heat and let rest for at least 20 minutes. Why rest? To maximize juiciness!

    Remove twine from bird. Pull legs away from the center & cut through the skin between breast & drumstick. Bend legs & cut to detach leg. Slice along each side of the breastbone to remove breasts. Cut the wings off at the joint. To separate the thigh from the drumstick, cut between joint. Slice breasts crosswise, skin side up, & arrange on a platter with dark meat & wings. Presentation Tip: Sear onion and garlic in a little oil to caramelize/color the cut side. Arrange with fresh sage around bird.
