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

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).
