Roasted Organic Chicken With Moroccan Spices

"A delicious roasted chicken that bursts with flavor from lemon and Moroccan spices. From Bon Appetit, January 2005. **Recipe calls for 1 tbsp. ras-el-hanout which can be found in the ethnic section of your grocery or Middle Eastern markets -- I could not list it in the ingredient list because the website did not recognize this spice mix."
