How To Make roast chicken, saffron an lemon diabetic friendly

1
Heat oven to 400°. Heat an 8" skillet over medium. Cook saffron until lightly toasted and fragrant, about 1 minute, let cool and transfer to a mortar and pestle. Add salt and peppercorns; grind into a coarse powder.

2
Slide fingers under the skin of chicken breast to create a pocket. Rub spices over and under the skin, and inside the cavity. Place rosemary and lemon slices under the skin and inside the cavity.
3
Tie legs together using butcher's string and tuck wings under back; roast until browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh reads 165°, about 1 hour. Let rest 10 minutes before carving.
