Prepare the oven and preheat to 218 degrees C or 425 degrees F.
Add the onions to the bottom of a roasting pan, then scatter them evenly.
Pour in stock on top of the onions.
Arrange the chicken over the onions.
Stuff the chicken with lemon wedges, herbs, and garlic. Make sure to get them all in.
Tie the legs of the chicken with kitchen twine.
Place the whole chicken inside the preheated oven and roast for about an hour. Make sure to spoon the juice over from time to time.
Add more minutes to the roasting time if the chicken is not ready for serving yet.
Remove from the oven and let it sit at room temperature for at least 10 minutes.
Serve and enjoy!

Roasting time depends on the weight of the chicken. I used 6-pound chicken for this recipe.
